In 2025, the Grundfos Jubilee Foundation received a donation of DKK 5 million in connection with the 50th anniversary of the Poul Due Jensen Foundation. In 2026, this donation will be topped by an additional DKK 13 million, so that the Jubilee Foundation has a total of DKK 18 million for grants until 2035.
The Jubilee Foundation previously distributed around DKK 700,000 annually, but over the next 10 years it can distribute more than twice as much as usual. The foundation’s chairman, Mogens Lindhard, is thrilled:
“This is a unique opportunity for use to support local associations, institutions and good projects that support the community and make a real difference for people,” says Mogens Lindhard and continues: “We hope to receive a lot of applications from committed actors who share our ambition to create positive change in the local area.”
The Board of Directors of the Foundation holds 4 ordinary board meetings a year – generally in March, June, August and November. The Board of Directors consists of 5-7 members: 2 of them from the founding family, former and current Grundfos employees and one person unrelated to the Grundfos Group.

As a rule of thumb, the Jubilee Foundation supports social and humanitarian causes within a radius of about 50 km from Bjerringbro, which also includes municipalities such as Viborg, Silkeborg, Randers, Favrskov and Hobro, where many Grundfos employees live.
- Applications can be made all year round. An application will be processed at the next board meeting, which is held 4 times a year.
