The family of the late Norwegian shipowner Kristian Gerhard Jebsen established a foundation in 2009; Stiftelsen Kristian Gerhard Jebsen, to provide substantial financial support for worthy causes.
The foundation has a wide-ranging object clause. During its first years the board focused primarily on supporting projects within the field of medical and maritime research. In 2011, for the first time, it has also reached out to the arts.
The foundation has been established to honour the memory of Kristian Gerhard Jebsen and his contribution to Norwegian and international shipping and business.
