Stiftelsen Kempe-Carlgrenska Fonden is a Swedish foundation focused on projects that benefit children and young people, with a strong emphasis on practical, early-stage support rather than fully established programs. Its funding spans child disability care, innovative education, psychosocial research, music scholarships, and youth integration, often backing schools, associations, and individual students in Sweden. Historical grantees suggest a longstanding interest in progressive education and youth development, including independent and Waldorf schools, Sigtunastiftelsen, and initiatives connected to Hem och skola.
Offers moderate-sized grants and scholarships, typically SEK 10,000-30,000, through two annual application rounds in February and August. The foundation favors pilot projects, new initiatives not yet implemented, and scholarships for the upcoming semester; some awards are annual or occasional rather than continuous multi-year funding.

Apply in one of the two annual windows (February or August) and plan carefully around start dates, since some projects may only begin in July or later depending on the cycle. Proposals should emphasize new, not-yet-implemented ideas, clear benefit to children or youth in Sweden, and strong fit with one of the foundation’s program areas; avoid centering routine travel or conference expenses, which are not prioritized.
