The Foundation’s vision is to support individuals, ideas and humanistic projects that run the risk of finding themselves outside current trends, but which, in the long-term, are deemed to be of decisive benefit to the public interest by preserving traditions and by renewing and developing society. The motto is “excellence and access”.

The Foundation focuses on a small number of humanistic areas and projects that have prospects of providing effects deemed to be long-term and of high quality. Driven by a sense of civic responsibility, the Foundation is to conduct activities of long-term, decisive importance for the development of society from a comparative international perspective.

A community thrives on human encounters. The Foundation is to constitute a forum for independent, intellectual and spiritual discussion in Sweden, for which an important element is to introduce the international, interdisciplinary humanist debate.
