In 2018, the foundation awarded grants totaling SEK 103 million to various programs and projects. Since its establishment, it has awarded funding of nearly SEK 2.6 billion, in 2022,^[2] with a large proportion going to Swedish research.

The foundation primarily awards funding to research projects displaying high scientific potential, and individual grants to excellent researchers in the field of humanities and learning that include new areas of research, and research involving transnational elements.

It also supports children’s and youth projects carried out by established national non-profit organizations, academies, museums, and higher education institutions.
