Stieg Larssons Stiftelse gives in the spirit of Stieg Larsson, with a strong emphasis on protecting democracy and basic rights through free journalism, anti-racism work, and gender equality. Its funding also extends to research and education, as well as support for people affected by domestic violence, racism, xenophobia, and discrimination. The foundation appears to favor values-driven, rights-based organizations and individuals in Sweden and internationally, including work that is courageous, public-facing, and aligned with freedom of speech and opinion.
Mix of invite-only recognition through an annual prize and general grants/contributions for aligned research, education, and advocacy; funding appears to be thematic rather than large-program based, with a notable annual award of 200,000 SEK and additional discretionary support.

The annual Stieg Larsson Prize is invite-only, so unsolicited applications are unlikely to be considered. For general grants, align proposals tightly with free journalism, anti-racism, gender equality, and democracy-protection themes, and show clear public benefit in Sweden or internationally.
