Nice to see that the pandemic did not substantially depress their fundraising. I wonder if that is because it is an established organization with longtime donors?

Yes. Mentor Sweden has as board members Stefan Persson and Bertil Hult. Both are founding members of Mentor International and members of the Board of Trustees of Mentor International. Stefan Persson (H&M) is the richest person in Sweden and Bertil Hult is the 9th richest. Both are close friends of king Carl Gustaf and queen Silvia.

Queen Silvia was the guest of honour at an auction and exhibition at CFHILL for the benefit of Mentor on 1st December.

The December vernissage and fundraising auction dinner on behalf of Mentor at CFHILL brought in more than 4 million SEK to invest in youth and society. The auction dinner, sponsored by SEB, was in the presence of H.M. Queen Silvia, Mentor’s founder and honorary President and Chairman.
There was also a fabulous surprise musical performance by the fantastic Carola Häggkvist.
