Svensk Handel Stiftelsen Köpmannaförbundet supports projects and initiatives that strengthen the development of trade and commerce in Sweden, with an emphasis on local, regional, and national impact. The foundation appears to fund sector-building efforts rather than direct service programs, backing initiatives that help retail and commercial activity adapt and grow in a changing market. Its giving is distinctive for being tightly focused on the trade sector and for distributing funds through a structured, twice-yearly application process.
Awards project grants totaling about SEK 500,000–2,000,000 per year, split across two application rounds. Applications are reviewed by the foundation’s grant group and board, with decisions tied to fixed deadlines in spring and fall.
Apply in one of the two annual windows: by March 31 for a decision by May 31, or by September 30 for the fall round. Proposals should clearly show how the project advances trade development at local, regional, or national level and explain the broader benefit to the commerce sector in Sweden.
