Background & Purpose
The Allmänna arvsfonden receives money from estates where there is no will or legal heir. These funds are then distributed as grants to non-profit projects that benefit children, young people, and people with disabilities.
Proposals & Debate
The government presented a report detailing how 763 million kronor was spent during the 2023 budget year, which is an increase of 22 million kronor compared to 2022. The report also outlines that the thirteen prioritized areas for future grants, such as strengthening democracy and preventing bullying, will remain unchanged.
The Decision
The Swedish parliament received the government's report and formally concluded the matter without requesting any new legislative actions.
