Ö-fonden supports keeping Stockholm’s inner archipelago open, livable, and economically active, with a strong emphasis on preserving cultural and natural values in island communities. Their grants appear to go to local farms, guesthouses, bakeries, small businesses, and community initiatives that help maintain year-round life on the islands and support the land-use needed to keep the archipelago landscape open. The funder is highly place-based and practical, favoring projects within the Stockholm archipelago near Möja that directly sustain local livelihoods, food production, and island services.
Löpande, place-based grants decided at four annual board meetings; support is described as financial aid for private individuals and businesses rather than a competitive national program. Likely small-to-medium project support tied to local island needs, with applications reviewed continuously and decisions made periodically by the board.

Apply through Ö-fonden’s ongoing bidragsprogram rather than waiting for a fixed annual deadline; decisions are taken at board meetings held four times per year. Strong applications should clearly show how the project helps keep a home island alive, sustains open landscapes, and benefits the Stockholm inner archipelago within the stated geographic area near Möja.
