Kone Foundation awards grants for research and the arts. The Foundation supports academic research in humanities, social sciences and environmental sciences, as well as artistic research. We fund professional artistic work in all fields of art, and multidisciplinary projects between art and research. Please note that the Foundation does not fund research in psychology, theology, law studies or business studies without an interdisciplinary dimension. Medical research is not supported. An individual, a working group or a legal entity with a Finnish business ID can apply for a grant from Kone Foundation. To receive funding, projects must have a connection to Finland. A grant may be awarded for a maximum of four years at a time. You must start using the grant during the year after the decision, at the earliest in January. Grants are not awarded retroactively. We encourage long-term work in both research and the arts.

Apply for funding by submitting your application and attachments using the Online Grant Service. The service is open during the annual application period in September. Read more: https://koneensaatio.fi/en/grants/grantapplicants/
