Gästriklandsfonden is a place-based Swedish foundation focused on preserving and celebrating the cultural heritage of Gästrikland, with support for arts and cultural activity, documentation, historic buildings, textiles, and local history. It also funds individual cultural contributors and awards a memorial prize for outstanding cultural achievements, often recognizing people and organizations with deep ties to regional heritage, museum work, craft traditions, and conservation. The foundation is especially distinctive for its strong emphasis on folk traditions, textile craft, and heritage preservation rooted in collections and bequests from Per Eriksson and Hedvig Ulfsparre.
Primarily application-based grants for eligible work in Gästrikland, reviewed on two annual deadlines (31 March and 30 September), plus an invite-only/nominated memorial award. Grants appear to support both projects and individuals, with a strong place-based eligibility screen and emphasis on cultural/public-benefit activities aligned with the foundation’s stated purposes.

Submit applications by 31 March or 30 September for consideration at the next review round, and make the Gästrikland connection explicit. Proposals should clearly fit the foundation’s cultural-heritage mission—especially documentation, conservation, textile/folk craft, local history, or building preservation—and avoid relying on government/municipal funding as the primary source. The memorial award is not open application; it is proposed by the head of Länsmuseet Gävleborg.
