SpareBank 1 Stiftelsen BV is a regional community foundation that supports broad public-benefit initiatives in the Kongsberg, Sandefjord, and Larvik areas, with a clear emphasis on projects that create lasting value for children and young people. Its giving spans local sports, outdoor recreation, culture, volunteerism, education, and community development, and it often backs organizations that strengthen civic participation and social inclusion. The foundation appears to be especially interested in visible, place-based projects and may also make larger strategic commitments when it is already in dialogue with a grantee.
Gives through a mix of open application grants and invite-only agreements. Small 'Breddegaver' support operational needs and local activities, while 'Prosjektgaver' fund larger, higher-impact projects in two annual application windows; bigger strategic awards are also made via direct dialogue and negotiated agreements.

Apply through the online portal during the foundation’s two open application periods each year. Proposals should be clearly tied to the local geography, show durable community value, and for stronger consideration emphasize benefits for children and youth, volunteer engagement, or long-term use of facilities/equipment. Larger or more complex projects may require prior dialogue rather than a standard open application.
