Every minute counts
The Foundation has established a series of emerency relief partnerships that ensure fast response and humanitarian assistance to victims of disasters and conflicts
In the intense circumstances following disasters, a crucial aspect of saving lives is the speed at which relief efforts can commence. This speed hinges on having experienced partners with the
necessary access and capacity, but it also fundamentally relies on the availability of funding.
“Our partnership model allows our partners to bridge the critical initial gap when a disaster occurs, with preapproved funding ready for disbursement as soon as it is needed.“
Executive Director Kim Nøhr Skibsted
No humanitarian funding from the Grundfos Foundation is contingent on new initiatives or ideas created specifically for our sake; instead, we support the established work that our partners are already doing.
