About Nils-Göran Olves stiftelse

Nils-Göran Olves stiftelse supports performances and preparatory work for lesser-known works in opera, art song (romanssång/Lied), and chamber music, with a clear emphasis on activity in Stockholm and the surrounding area. The foundation appears especially interested in helping artists, nonprofits, concert institutions, and theaters bring rarely performed repertoire to the public, including support for scores, dramaturgy, and project development. Its giving is highly program-specific and rooted in cultural preservation and presentation rather than broad arts funding.

Giving Approach

Awards prizes, scholarships, and project grants once per year; applications are due by June 30 and decisions are expected by August 31. Funding is focused on specific performance or preparatory projects rather than general operating support, and it is mainly targeted to Stockholm-based activity.

How to approach this funder

Submit one annual application by June 30 and frame the proposal around a specific lesser-known opera, art song, or chamber music project in Stockholm. Emphasize artistic merit, preparatory needs such as sheet music or dramaturgy, and how the project will broaden access to uncommon repertoire; eligible applicants include performers as well as nonprofits, concert institutions, and theaters.
