About the Memorial Fund
The Olof Palme Memorial Fund for International Understanding and Common Security was established in March 1986 by Olof Palme’s family and the Swedish Social Democratic Party Board to honor his memory.
The fund aims to promote young peoples work and commitment to peace, international understanding and the fight against racism and xenophobia. The fund also awards the annual Olof Palme Prize. Decisions are made by the Memorial Fund’s board, chaired by former Prime Minister Stefan Löfven.
