Funding opportunities for non-profit

The Swedish Inheritance Fund (Allmänna Arvsfonden) is a significant financial resource for non-profit organizations in Sweden, aimed at improving the quality of life for children, young people, and individuals with disabilities. The fund's resources come from estates left behind by people who pass away without any legal heirs or a valid will. As of the latest available data, the Swedish Inheritance Fund manages approximately SEK 10 billion, which is roughly equivalent to USD 1 billion.
