Velliv Foreningen is a Danish foundation focused on improving mental health and wellbeing, especially in the workplace, through research, analysis, and practical new interventions. It tends to support applied, practice-connected projects that are developed in collaboration with target groups and stakeholders, as well as local community-based activities that strengthen resilience and belonging for working people. The funder stands out for combining evidence-building with hands-on prevention and support in everyday work life.
Offers two main grant channels: one for applied research and one for local, short-term community activities. Funding appears to be Denmark-only, with fixed application rounds for the community pool and pre-application review timelines for research; the research program is likely more selective and project-specific, while the local activities fund supports smaller, nearby initiatives delivered by volunteers and networks.
Align proposals closely with mental health in working life and show clear collaboration with relevant users or stakeholders. For research, emphasize practical impact, implementation, or intervention testing; for the local pool, highlight volunteer engagement, community reach, and how the activity directly supports wellbeing. Check the application page for the specific round deadlines and format, since timelines differ by program.
