What we support

Together with Doctors Without Borders, we provide emergency medical aid during the war in Ukraine.

In connection with Grundfos' Annual General Assembly on 29 April, the Grundfos Foundation announces record philanthropic donation framework of DKK 250 million (~EUR 34 million) for important purposes all over the world.

The Foundation has approved community grants worth almost 9 million DKK (1,2m EUR) for local social initiatives all over the world. Additional emergency funding of 2.7m DKK (268,000 EUR) is also on the way to local organisations helping refugees in Poland Hungary and Slovakia.

DKK 5.5 million are on their way to India, where the Foundation's trusted partner Sunlit Future collaborates with local NGOs to provide sustainable access to water in underprivileged tribal and rural communities. Over the years, the partnership has helped create a new standard for rural water projects.

The Grundfos Foundation releases 3 x 5m DKK to Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), DRC Danish Refugee Council, and Danmarks Idrætsforbund (DIF) to help refugees in and around Ukraine and in Denmark. An additional 5m DKK is made available to local Grundfos companies for emergency relief via the Poul Due Jensen Community Engagement Grant.

At its annual meeting on 14 March, the Board of Directors elected Helena Due Langvad to fill the empty seat after Estrid Due Hesselholt who has decided to step down. Helena is the first of the founder's great-grand-children to serve on the Board of Directors of the foundation created by Poul Due Jensen in 1975 to safeguard his life's work, Grundfos.

For the second year in a row, Next Generation Water Action brings together 100+ selected international young academics and entrepreneurs to tackle the most pressing global water challenges by developing bold, sustainable solutions with industry, academic and public partners.

Girls’ educational opportunities are particularly affected by the global water crisis. Not only can contaminated water make them too sick to attend school, but they also typically shoulder the burden of collecting water for their families. Losing out on an education impacts their economic prospects in the future.

The Grundfos Foundation will support direct emergency relief in Ukraine with at least DKK 15 million (EUR 2 million).
