The Swedish-Finnish Cultural Foundation aims to further cultural relations between Sweden and Finland by providing support for increased knowledge of, and contact between, the culture, economy and people of the two countries.

The Cultural Foundation came into existence in 1960 after a decision by the Swedish and Finnish governments.  At that time, part of the interest Finland was to pay on her national debt after the war was set aside for a foundation for cultural co-operation between the two countries.  Half of the Foundation's original capital was placed in each country. Today, the Swedish-Finnish Cultural Foundation is the largest bilateral foundation in Scandinavia.
