We believe in strength through diversity and inclusion, both in the projects that we support and in our way of working. Our partners include local volunteer enthusiasts, the state sector, municipalities, foundations, associations, research institutions and the private business community.
Sometimes we initiate the activities ourselves, but everyone can also apply for funding for both large and small projects. In our daily work we operate on the basis of our philanthropic strategy, and therefore only support projects that are within the boundaries defined by it.
Common to all the projects we support is that there must be a clear philanthropic task. It must be a task that other actors in society, such as companies or the public sector, do not, cannot or should not have to manage.
We wish to make a difference for both the current and future generations. That’s why sustainability is such an important part of our work – which means both climate-related and environmental sustainability, as well as economic, social and cultural sustainability.
Here is a sample of some of the more than 5,000 projects we have supported
Apply for funding
We support projects that comply with our mission and philanthropic strategy. The projects must be anchored in Denmark – or, in special cases, projects abroad with a clear reference to Denmark.
Persons and organisations can apply for grants via our application form. The form is in Danish, but applications may also be written in English. For further details about applying for a grant with Realdania, our philanthropic strategy and selection criteria, etc., please see our Danish-language website: Realdania.dk
