The Egill Skallagrimsson Fund

The Egill Skallagrímsson Fund is a registered charity in Britain under the auspices of the Embassy of Iceland. The main objective of the Fund is to promote the culture and art of Iceland in the United Kingdom and for this purpose it provides financial support for artistic endeavours. The first grant was awarded to The Icelandic Take Away Theatre to support the performance of the play "The Lemon Sisters" at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 1997.

Grants are awarded twice a year - in May and November. Grants are usually given on the basis of artistic merit and financial need. Applications must reach the Embassy before May 1st or November 1st. A short report will be required from all recipients of grants upon completion of the project.
