Holger Crafoord established the Crafoord Foundation in 1980 and made an initial donation. Thanks to further donations by Anna-Greta and Holger Crafoord and to an appreciation in the value of the original donation, by December 31st, 2024, the foundation’s capital had risen to SEK 5 300 million (market value). The Foundation is an independent legal entity, led by a board.
Since its inception, the foundation has awarded approximately SEK 2 400 million for different causes.
