Myhrwold's Foundation

Myhrwolds Fond (Myhrwold's Foundation) is a Danish grant-making foundation based in Helsinge, Denmark. Its full legal name honours its founders: Fabriksejer, Civilingeniør Louis Dreyer Myhrwold og hustru Janne Myhrwolds Fond — that is, the foundation of factory owner and civil engineer Louis Dreyer Myhrwold and his wife Janne Myhrwold. The foundation was created to distribute the wealth generated by its founder, and it operates as a philanthropic institution rather than a commercial enterprise. The foundation awards grants once a year, with an application window running from 1 June to 1 September. Only activities taking place after 31 October of the current year are eligible for support. Applications must be submitted electronically through the foundation's application system. Myhrwolds Fond concentrates its giving in three main areas. First, it supports study and research stays abroad for qualified mechanical engineers and other engineers connected to the mechanical industry. Applicants must be under 40 years old and educated at DTU (Technical University of Denmark) or AAU (Aalborg University). The foundation explicitly does not support M.Sc. or MBA studies abroad, nor does it fund graduate diploma engineers who are continuing their studies toward a civil engineering degree. Second, it funds research within the mechanical engineering field at DTU and AAU. Third, it supports humanitarian purposes carried out by associations and organisations, with a preference for smaller humanitarian organisations where the financial support can genuinely make a difference relative to the organisation's budget or accounts. Support is primarily given as help to self-help, and applicant organisations must have equity of less than DKK 1 million. The foundation also supports disability-related sports activities run by associations and organisations, again requiring equity below DKK 1 million. Individuals may only apply for support for study or research stays. The foundation is administered by Annette Bergmann, with contact details at Solbjergvej 1, 3200 Helsinge, Denmark, telephone +45 2127 4504, and email myhrwold@myhrwold.dk. Its CVR (Danish central business register) number is 29049211. The board consists of Marcel Somers (chair), Brian Vejrum Wæhrens, and Henrik Salée. As a Danish foundation, Myhrwolds Fond is a private, non-listed entity. It is not a commercial brand in the conventional sense but a philanthropic institution whose name functions as a recognised foundation trademark in Denmark.
