In addition to the general grant call, Kone Foundation arranges almost every year thematic grant calls, which are thematically connected to the funding programmes of the Foundation. Thematic grant calls are evaluated separately from the general grant call.
In 2021, Kone Foundation will start a new funding programme Is Democracy Eroding? The first thematic funding call in the programme will focus on projects that explore the connection between language and democracy.
