About Stiftelsen Tre Smeder

Stiftelsen Tre Smeder funds cultural and nonprofit activity that helps shape Helsinki as a vibrant, multicultural capital with a strong and relevant role for the Swedish language. Its giving appears especially oriented toward Swedish-language civic life, local community-building in Helsinki, and activities that engage children, youth, and families through culture, education, leisure, and sports. The foundation also seems to support organizations that strengthen participation and integration in Swedish-speaking networks, including projects with a clear Helsinki or Helsinki-region footprint.
