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.
