Foundation Ytterby Gruva’s purpose
Promote activities that preserve, develop and make visible the cultural and mining historical environment that is made up of Ytterby Gruva’s above and underground facilities.
The foundation’s purpose can be furthered by;
- Promote activities that preserve, develop and make visible the cultural and mining historical environment that is made up of Ytterby Gruva’s above and underground facilities.
- Ensure that information about research and development in connection with projects carried out in the mine is disseminated.
- Contact cooperation partners, both Swedish and international, to inform them about Ytterby Mine.
- To the extent of resources, grant scholarships to school pupils, students, researchers and others, whose work is useful for the Foundation’s purposes. However, scholarships awarded must constitute no more than five percent of the annually determined amount, which may be used to fulfill the foundation’s purposes. Decisions on grants can be made by the board after application or by independent decision without prior application. To fulfill the foundation’s purposes, the annual direct yield with deductions for costs may be used. Direct yield refers to ongoing income, such as interest and dividends. In addition, the foundation may use the foundation’s capital, however, taking into account the Foundation Act’s requirements for duration.
