Home Grants Grants We award grants for academic research, the arts, and for projects which combine scholarly and artistic approaches. We also organize thematic grant calls, which aim to draw attention to current themes in academic and cultural life. The annual grant call is held 1–15 September. The funding decisions for the 2024 grant call will be announced on Monday, 9 December. In 2022, Kone Foundation awarded grants, prizes and donations totalling over EUR 48 million. For grant applicants Kone Foundation supports research in the humanities, social sciences and environmental sciences, as well as artistic research. We support artistic work in all fields of art, as well as multidisciplinary work combining art and research in the above-mentioned fields.
