In 2025, the Grundfos Jubilee Foundation received a DKK 5 million donation to mark the 50th anniversary of the Poul Due Jensen Foundation. This was followed in 2026 by an additional DKK 13 million, bringing the Jubilee Foundation’s total available grant funding to DKK 18 million until 2035. This significant increase means the foundation can now distribute more than twice its usual annual amount of around DKK 700,000, enabling greater support for local initiatives.
Foundation chairman Mogens Lindhard expressed excitement at the opportunity to back community projects, encouraging applications from associations and institutions that share the ambition of creating positive local change. The board meets four times a year—in March, June, August, and November—to review applications, which can be submitted year-round.
The Jubilee Foundation primarily supports social and humanitarian causes within a 50 km radius of Bjerringbro, covering municipalities such as Viborg, Silkeborg, Randers, Favrskov, and Hobro, where many Grundfos employees live. Over the years, it has funded a wide range of local organisations, including LEV Viborg, Sølund Music Festival, YMCA and FDF Scouts, Care Center Skovvænget, the Art School Bifrost, Fristedet Viborg, Natteravnene Bjerringbro, Julemærkehjemmet Hobro, and numerous sports associations.
With this expanded funding capacity, the Jubilee Foundation is positioned to make an even greater impact in strengthening community life and supporting projects that deliver tangible benefits to people across the region.
