The grant committee finds and selects potential recipients
Allerfonden has established a grant committee to carry out the preparatory work connected to the foundation’s most subsidiary purpose.
The grant committee, on its own, finds and selects via its secretaries and its professional network all potential grant recipients for brief educational programmes among citizens of the Nordic countries. When these, afterwards, have been evaluated by the grant committee, the final grant recipients are nominated every spring in the months of March to May by the grant committee for the final decision of the board of Allerfonden.
The individual grant recipients are finally approved by the board of Allerfonden at a board meeting every year, at the latest in May.
Grants within three main areas
The grants from Allerfonden are awarded for brief educational training for citizens of the Nordic countries within the following three main areas:
1. Media and journalism
2. Graphical technology
3. Design and photography
Allerfonden particularly supports:

The grant recipients may be offered education within editorial and publishing related areas. This may, for example, take place at the London School of Communication or other similar institutions.
Education focused on the graphical area
The grant recipients must be given the possibility to meet others within their given field, create an international network and receive a professional introduction to new technologies, methods, trends, etc. so that they become familiar with the leading edge of technological development.
