安娜嘉達及荷加卡福特基金（Anna-Greta and Holger Crafoord's Fund）由工業家荷加卡福特夫婦（Holger Crafoord，1908-1982；Anna-Greta Crafoord，1914-1994）在1980年成立，目的是促進瑞典及世界各地的基礎科學研究，主要是數學、天文學、生物科學和地球科學等方面的研究。
而基金主要作兩方面的用途，其中之一是每年的國際獎項，即卡福特獎（Crafoord
prize），頒給該年的出色科學家，由瑞典皇家科學院負責頒授（跟諾貝爾獎相同）；另外是研究基金給瑞典國內的學者或院校。而在獎項方面是以六年為一個循環，順次序每年頒給數學、地球科學、生物科學、天文學、地球科學、生物科學，其中地球科學和生物科學是頒兩次的。在1998年起，卡福特獎包括五十萬美元、金獎牌及獎狀。
歷屆卡福特獎（數學）得主：
| 1982 | Vladimir I. Arnold | For outstanding achievements in the theory of non-linear differential equations. |
| Louis Nirenberg | For outstanding achievements in the theory of non-linear differential equations. | |
| 1988 | Pierre Deligne | For their fundamental research in algebraic geometry. |
| Alexandre Grothendieck | For their fundamental research in algebraic geometry. | |
| 1994 | Simon Donaldson | For his fundamental investigations in four-dimensional geometry through application of instantos in particular his new discovery of new differential invariants. |
| Shing-Tung Yau | For his development of non-linear techniques in differential geometry leading the solution of several outstanding problems. | |
| 2001 | Alain Connes | For penetrating work on te theory of operator algebras and for having been a founder of non-commutative geometry. |
