Jensens Fonde is a Denmark-based family of foundations focused on conserving and restoring nature, with a strong emphasis on protecting wild animals, improving biodiversity, and supporting practical conservation management. Their giving spans Danish, Greenlandic, and selected international projects, and they especially value initiatives that combine scientific documentation, habitat restoration, public outreach, and strong local anchoring. They appear to favor projects with clear conservation impact and collaboration between researchers, practitioners, and communities.
Mix of invite-only international grants, domestic foundation giving, and open competitive grant rounds in Denmark. Grants support both large and smaller projects, with open calls typically held three times per year for research, management, and outreach initiatives.

For Danish Nature Fund opportunities, watch for the three annual open rounds and tailor proposals to research, nature management, or communication that clearly contributes to a richer nature. International projects are invite-only, so unsolicited outreach is unlikely to succeed; applicants should emphasize local anchoring, practical conservation outcomes, and collaboration with relevant institutions or communities.
