Philantrophy
The Poul Due Jensen Foundation supports projects bringing safe and affordable drinking water to rural communities in developing countries and the world's forgotten refugee camps. We also support selected Danish research environments within technical research and natural science, and finally we push for social inclusion in Central Denmark Region, where Grundfos has its birthplace.

The Foundation cooperates with international partners with the ambition to supply safe water to the world's poorest in rural communities and forgotten refugee camps.
Research
The Foundation supports "use-inspired" research initiatives, environments and individuals within technical and natural science disciplines.
