The Carlsberg Foundation awarded DKK 956 million for non-profit purposes in 2024. Of this amount, DKK 740 million went to basic research within the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. A dividend from shares in Carlsberg A/S of DKK 711 million, along with a return of DKK 1.4 billion from the foundation’s free investments, also means that the foundation can set a historically high grant budget of DKK 700 million for basic scientific purposes through 2026.
