Sixten Gemzeus Stiftelse focuses on helping children and young people in Greater Stockholm reach their potential, with a strong emphasis on education, integration, and opportunity in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas. It also supports young people with disabilities through recreation, camps, assistive devices, and leisure activities, and it appears to combine direct stipends with organizational grants and its own initiatives. The foundation is locally rooted, practical, and youth-centered, with a clear interest in strengthening inclusion and meaningful free-time opportunities.
Provides relatively small grants in the roughly $7,000-$11,000 range through two annual application cycles; one program has deadlines in March and August, and the organizational support program accepts applications May 1-August 31. Support goes to both individuals/families and nonprofits, with a geographic focus on Greater Stockholm and an emphasis on programmatic or practical benefit.

Check the specific program eligibility carefully: the recreation grant is for children and youth with disabilities and can also support associations serving that group, while organizational support is limited to nonprofits working with young people in Greater Stockholm, especially in underserved areas. Plan for the stated deadlines—March/August for recreation support and May 1-August 31 for organizational support—and align proposals tightly with youth, inclusion, education, or meaningful leisure outcomes.
