Summary

15. Juni Fonden is a Danish private foundation that supports projects in three primary areas: nature and biodiversity, visual arts, and social/humanitarian causes. For the nature programme, the foundation focuses on: creating space for nature and biodiversity; improving the quality of nature and biodiversity; and raising public awareness and knowledge about nature and biodiversity. The foundation contributes to a Denmark where nature and landscapes are protected and used with respect for their lasting values, prioritising synergistic and scalable projects. The arts programme covers visual arts with connections to Denmark and opera (currently closed to applications). The social/humanitarian programme is primarily run as the foundation's own activities centred on nature as a framework for mental health interventions; unsolicited applications are not accepted for this area. Eligible activities include research, conservation, education, ecosystem restoration, and coastal and marine projects. The foundation is open to a wide range of applicants including local authorities, NGOs, social institutions, companies, and private associations. Geographic scope is Denmark only, covering all Danish regions and municipalities. The foundation is classified as a private foundation administered independently. Funding amounts range widely from under EUR 50,000 to over EUR 1 million. There is no consortium requirement and blended funding is allowed. Applications are primarily rolling, with specific thematic calls published at various points in the year.
