Demos funding provides associations, NGOs, foundations, and other non-profit organisations with the opportunity to work together at the Nordic level.

Demos funds projects and networks in which civil society comes together and participates in, for example, cultural, political, or social activities. Funding can be granted for most forms of collaborative project.

The projects can include:

• Joint collaborations, concerts, meetings, conferences, workshops, staff exchanges, products, courses, and training;
• facilitation and exchange of ideas and knowledge between different civil society organisations in the Nordic Region;
• The sharing of resources and expertise for opinion-driven initiatives or co-operation around joint events and similar; and
• Operating costs, provided that these relate to the project.

Demos funds projects in which at least three Nordic countries are participating.

• Denmark, the Faroe Islands, Finland, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Åland are considered as separate countries in this context.

Demos will grant up to EUR 50,000 in project funding in 2025. A minimum of 15% of the total project funding must come from another source.

Please note that only civil society organisations can apply for funding.
