Icelandic Roots Philanthropy
Icelandic Roots is a charitable organization registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the United States. Donations, grants, and scholarships are awarded to individuals and organizations worldwide for Heritage, Culture, Education, Snorri Programs, Icelandic Language, and more.
Scholarships
A key element of the Icelandic Roots mission is “paying it forward” by awarding scholarships to individuals interested in learning more about Iceland, its culture, history, and language.
Our top recipient is The Snorri Program.
Other programs we've supported include The Gimli Icelandic Camp and The University of Iceland for Icelandic Language Studies.
With your donation, you can support the project, program, or initiative of your choice!

We award cultural and heritage grants to deserving Icelandic heritage organizations and individuals for various initiatives in Canada, Iceland, and the United States. Each year, the list of recipients and projects continues to grow—see the current list here.
