Stiftelsen Dam is one of Norway’s largest foundations and primarily funds health-related projects and research that improve well-being through participation, activity, coping, and quality of life for people in Norway. It supports a mix of practical community health initiatives and larger research projects, often through Norwegian member organizations and research-capable institutions. The portfolio suggests strong interest in mental health, rehabilitation, disability inclusion, and innovative interventions that help people live better with illness or chronic conditions.
Large but flexible grantmaker with several program tracks: small rapid-response grants for member organizations, larger time-limited health projects, and multi-year research awards. Applications are generally accepted year-round for Helse, Ekspress, and Utvikling, while Forskning uses an annual two-stage process with a sketch/LOI followed by invitation-only full proposals.

Match the program to the project size and structure: use Ekspress only if you are a member organization with a small local activity, apply to Helse or Utvikling for time-limited projects in Norway, and use Forskning only through a Norwegian research institution and a partner applicant organization. For research, plan around the annual two-step deadline cycle (sketch/LOI in mid-February, full proposal by invitation in June); for other programs, submissions are rolling and faster review is a key feature.
