Good living: health, excercise, nature and culture

Nordea-fonden support activities which promote good living. Donations are primarily made for activities that fall within four themes:

  • health
  • excercise
  • nature
  • culture

We place emphasis on activities of high quality actively involving many people. 

Donations are limited to activites in Denmark or activities with clear ties to Denmark.

See examples of our donations here.

Funding

Nordea-fonden was established in 1989 by Sparekassen SDS when it became a public company.
