Kristian Gerhard Jebsen FoundationThe Kristian Gerhard Jebsen Foundation was established in 2009 in honour of Kristian Gerhard Jebsen and his contribution to Norwegian and international shipping and business. A common denominator for the foundation’s engagement is a vision of contributing to the realisation of projects on the highest international level. Having previously directed our support towards medical and maritime research, we now also reach out to the arts, providing financial support for the Bergen International Festival, for Leif Ove Andsnes’s project Beethoven – a Journey, and for the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra as it approaches its 250th anniversary in 2015.
The Savings Bank Foundation DnB NOR
The objective of Sparebankstiftelsen DnB NOR is to carry on the savings bank tradition of making donations for the public benefit. We make donations to initiatives that bring pleasure to many people. Through our subsidiary Dextra Musica, we purchase valuable string instruments that we lend to Norwegian musicians. We wish to ensure that talented musicians can play on the best possible instruments, for the benefit of us all.
Dextra Musica
Dextra Musica is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sparebankstiftelsen DnB NOR. The company invests in string instruments and lends them to talented Norwegian musicians. In 2012 we support the festival’s collaboration with El Sistema from Venezuela and the formation of a bi-national orchestra. The project is a valuable contribution to lifting our own arts schools to greater heights in the years to come. We additionally support the Bergen International Festival’s young persons’ programme in the music pavilion.
The Kavli Trust
O Kavli and Knut Kavli’s Almennyttige Fond (the Kavli Trust) owns the Kavli group, and this ownership enables the fund to contribute to activities for the public benefit. Part of the profit of the Kavli group is reinvested in order to consolidate and develop the group, while the rest is spent for the public benefit on research, culture and humanitarian work. The Kavli Trust has supported Bergen International Festival for many years, and we are delighted to be supporting the festival's outdoor programme in 2011.
Sparebanken Vest investing in Western Norway
Through its focus on children and young people, Sparebanken Vest has helped to develop a number of projects aimed at ensuring that Western Norway is a good place for children to grow up. Working in this field is a way of investing in the future, as our region is completely dependent on the creativity and expertise of coming generations. That is why Sparebanken Vest sponsors Bergen International Festival’s activities aimed at children and young people.
