Otavan Kirjasäätiö is a Finnish literary foundation focused on strengthening literature, reading, and literacy, with a clear emphasis on supporting writers and other literary workers. It funds both individual creative work and projects that advance reading culture, literacy, and renewal in the book sector, making it a strong fit for organizations or individuals working in the literary ecosystem in Finland.
Issues grants and project support through a formal application process, typically in two annual rounds (February and October). Grants support both personal working stipends and project-based initiatives, with funding focused on Finland.
Monitor the foundation’s website for the February and October application windows; the spring round example runs from 1–28 February. Tailor proposals to clearly show how the work advances literature, reading, literacy, or innovation in the book sector in Finland, and specify whether you are applying for personal artistic work or a project grant.
