Augustinus Fonden
The Augustinus Foundation strengthens its societal responsibility and philanthropic mission by providing funding for other actors so that they can fulfill their social responsibility. The Augustinus Fonden’s raison d’être is based on the fact that the foundation’s task is to realize the visions and missions of others, as it is the professional organizations within the supported areas that are the experts.
At the Augustinus Foundation, we take a long-term approach based on open and enquiring dialogue. We offer applicants our trust and support, based on a professional assessment of each project and its relevance to society.
The Augustinus Foundation’s grants are focused on three main initiatives:
- Art & Culture: The Foundation aims to preserve a vibrant cultural heritage by supporting museums and their collections, as well as architecturally significant buildings. We also contribute to the development of the creative and performing arts – music, dance and visual arts – by supporting both well-established and experimental activities.
Knowledge & Research: The Foundation contributes new knowledge through promoting research in cultural heritage, and by sending talented students from artistic studies out into the world.
Social & Humanitarian efforts: The Foundation supports and helps vulnerable adults throughout Denmark, concentrating on individual needs and helping to mitigate the consequences of crises and disasters around the world.
