We support a lot, but not everything

We are a charitable foundation that supports research in the humanities and social sciences, culture, a balanced sea, social initiatives, and transitions and changes in adult life.

We primarily support larger individual projects with an amount exceeding DKK 500,000, but there are differences among the various areas. An exception is, for example, the foundation's support for projects that enhance the empowerment of the elderly through volunteerism, mainly smaller projects.

As a general rule, we do not support:

  • Projects that serve political, commercial, or business interests
  • Health research unless it pertains to Adult Life Transitions and Changes
  • Individual entertainment
  • Ongoing operation and administration of institutions or organizations
  • Study trips and study stays
  • Private construction and restoration projects
  • Sponsorships

We encourage you to read more under 'We Support' where the individual areas and application requirements are described.

If you are still unsure about what we support and do not support, feel free to contact us.
