Collaboration with Foundations

Oxfam Denmark regularly carries out projects with support from a number of major and minor Danish foundations. Among the foundations that support the fight for a better world are the Novo Nordisk Foundation, the Hempel Foundation, and Education Out Loud.

Novo Nordisk Foundation

The Novo Nordisk Foundation supports projects aimed at creating stronger links between immediate emergency relief and long-term efforts in areas affected by humanitarian crises.

There is a growing need to bridge short-term emergency response with initiatives that can, over time, strengthen local communities’ resilience to crises and disasters.

That is why the foundation provides funding for projects that both address urgent needs and contribute to sustainable development in some of the world’s most vulnerable regions. The funds are distributed among nine different organizations and research institutions working in countries such as Mali, Yemen, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, South Sudan, Jordan, Iraq, and Syria.

The Hempel Foundation

The Hempel Foundation is a commercial Danish foundation with activities in both Denmark and internationally.

As the majority owner of the Hempel Group, the foundation helps ensure a strong financial foundation for Hempel A/S while also driving philanthropic efforts focused on education and biodiversity across large parts of the world.

The Hempel Foundation supports initiatives that create positive change through social efforts aimed at strengthening communities and promoting the well-being of children and young people.
