13 new community engagement grants worth EUR 785,445 in total have been awarded to projects across the globe where Grundfos employees partner with local organisations to address pressing issues together. To celebrate its 50th anniversary, the Foundation has set aside DKK 50 million (EUR 6.7 million) for community engagement in 2025.

The Poul Due Jensen Community Engagement Grant was invented in 2020 to strengthen and support local partnership building and outreach as this is a vital part of the Grundfos values, history and legacy.

“In 2025, the Foundation celebrates its 50th anniversary and we have therefore increased the financial framework for community engagement grants to DKK 50 million this year. We especially hope to see more strategic partnerships materialise in locations with many employees so Grundfos can reach its volunteering ambitions,” explains Executive Director Kim Nøhr Skibsted.

The Foundation can support organisations where Grundfos employees volunteer for good causes. Applications are reviewed every quarter. The next deadlines are 26 March, 27 June and 15 October. Find out more
