Oak Foundation Denmark provides grants to not-for-profit organisations that work to support people in Denmark, Greenland, and the Faroe Islands who are furthest from and often face difficult life circumstances. This includes people who are undocumented migrants, individuals living in shelters, people experiencing homelessness, and those earning a living through street-based sex work. We recognise the dignity, strength, and potential of every person and aim to support their efforts to build safer, more stable lives. We believe that real understanding comes from real connection. That’s why we listen carefully and stay in conversation with the people and communities most affected by the issues we care about. Their experiences and ideas guide our grant-making.
Online grant application We welcome direct applications and collaborate closely with applicants to shape their ideas into strong proposals. This process helps build trust and lasting partnerships. We support both long-standing organisations and new initiatives — wherever our support can help people and communities to thrive.
