To be eligible for funding from the Nordic Gender Equality Fund, the planned activity must begin in 2026 and be completed within two years. The funding may be used, for example, to develop joint methods, produce new knowledge, organise conferences, or build networks. 

The application form will be available on nikk.no during the application period. 

Dialogue and cooperation are key cornerstones of Nordic cooperation, and the Nordic Gender Equality Fund provides an opportunity to support this. The fund finances projects involving at least three different organisations from at least three Nordic countries. The Faroe Islands, Greenland, and Åland may constitute one country, and it is also possible to include a Baltic country in an application together with at least two Nordic countries. More than three countries may be included. 

A call for the Nordic LGBTI Fund will also be launched in autumn 2026. Further information will be published in spring. 

If you are looking for project inspiration, we encourage you to explore previously funded projects on our website, as well as our anniversary publication 10! – Results from 10 Years of Cooperation through the Nordic Gender Equality Fund.
