Kvinnor och Hälsa

Kvinnor & Hälsa is a Swedish fundraising foundation dedicated to supporting research that is important to women’s health. The organization highlights a longstanding imbalance in medical research, which has traditionally focused more on men, and advocates for research that considers sex and gender differences. Its aim is to help advance knowledge that can improve women’s health and, in some cases, may be critical to life and well-being.

The foundation awards research scholarships and publishes information about its scholarship recipients. It also invites individuals and companies to contribute through donations, including congratulatory gifts, memorial gifts and general contributions. Donations can be made by Swish, bank transfer or postal giro, with donors choosing the amount. The organization also encourages support for glaucoma research, an area it specifically highlights, and asks donors to mark contributions intended for that purpose.

Kvinnor & Hälsa provides ways to give in memory of someone or to celebrate a special occasion, making its fundraising relevant to both personal and corporate supporters.
