Collaborators

The Amos Anderson Fund is an association for the promotion of Swedish-speaking arts, culture and education in Finland, originally founded in 1940 by cultural patron and businessman Mr. Amos Anderson as Föreningen Konstsamfundet r.f. They tasked us with creating an visually appealing mini-site that would show how a breakdown of their grants into different categories. Talented illustrator and graphic designer Camilla Pentti created the lively vignettes for each of the categories.

The grants dashboard is an ongoing project that receives minor updates on each grant round. For the latest 2026 update the site was fully rebuilt with svelte and the mobile view improved.

The dashboard is both intended to help potential grant applicants and Konstsamfundet’s own analysts. The grants can be filtered by year and a table view allows focusing on just the table listing. All charts can be exported as images and tables of individual awarded grants can be downloaded as excel files.

The table view is necessary for applicants and media looking for the latest round of recipients. The table is sortable and filterable, and has a free-text search functionality.
