Payment of funds can be made to the managing body (organisation or preson) throughout the year after request from the grant recipient. Upon request to the foundation we can sometimes make exceptions and allow payment of parts of funds directly to other organisations involved in the project.

Payments are not made automatically. For each transfer of funds a funds request must be sent to Ekhagastiftelsen.

A first payment of funds can only be made after we have received the popular scientific summary of the project.

Grants are paid out for one year at a time and with up to 80 % of the yearly grant. For grants spanning over more than one year a yearly report has to be submitted and further payments depend on the quality of the yearly report. The remaining funds can be requested after the yearly or final report have been submitted and approved by the foundation.

For grants over 250 000 SEK per year funds are paid per four-month or six-month period.
» Per four-month period when 80 % of yearly funds is more than 100 000 SEK, otherwise per six-month period.
» To foreign grant recipients payments are made per six-month period.

Funds not requested within 2 years of project end are revoked and used for other projects.

If a final report is not submitted, the foundation can ask for the repayment of funds.
