Institutional Funding

Act Church of Sweden is a faith-based development and humanitarian organization, and an integral part of the Church of Sweden. As one of Sweden’s largest international aid and development actors, we work in long-term partnership to combat poverty and oppression, while also responding rapidly in times of crisis. 

In 2024, institutional donors contributed approximately 30% of our total funding, amounting to 406 million SEK. These funds are vital to fulfilling our mission. We are committed to strengthening existing partnerships, expanding our network of institutional donors, and exploring new opportunities for impactful collaboration. We welcome dialogue around potential funding initiatives. 

Strategic Funding Partnerships

Grants from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and the European Union are key sources of funding for Act Church of Sweden. We currently receive support through Sida’s Civil Society Organization (CSO) framework, and we lead the Innovative Financing Project (IFIL) in Uganda and Kenya with Sida’s backing. 

Our work is also supported by EU funding, including contributions from DEVCO and ECHO. In addition, we hold a framework agreement with Radiohjälpen, and receive further financial support from various foundations and the Swedish Institute’s Creative Force program
