Summary
Aage V. Jensens Fond (AVJF) is a Danish philanthropic foundation that provides grants for commercial, artistic, educational, scientific, social, and general charitable purposes both nationally and internationally. Within these broad purposes, the fund focuses particularly on projects concerning wild nature in Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands. The thematic scope is broader than the companion Aage V. Jensen Naturfond: AVJF can support a wider array of activities including education, scientific research, and social welfare, provided the projects serve legitimate charitable or scientific goals. However, in practice, the fund prioritizes nature projects in the Danish realm (Denmark proper, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands). Eligible applicants include educational and research institutions, private organizations, associations (foreninger), and even individuals. This makes the fund accessible to a wider range of actors than purely academic institutions. The minimum grant size is 30,000 DKK (approximately 4,000 EUR), with no stated maximum. Applications are reviewed at board meetings held three times a year. The online application process requires a project description, budget, optional CV, and other relevant supporting documents in PDF format. Geographically, the fund's priority regions are Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands, making it particularly relevant for organizations with projects in these territories. International activities may be supported if they align with the fund's general charitable purposes.
Historical Context
Aage V. Jensens Fond is the broader general fund within the Aage V. Jensen Fonde family, separate from the Aage V. Jensen Naturfond. It covers a wider range of charitable purposes but focuses particularly on wild nature in Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands.
