KR Foundation

KR Foundation is located in København K, Denmark on Linnésgade 15. KR Foundation is rated 3 out of 5 in the category philanthropy in Denmark. KR Foundation aims to address the root causes of climate change and environmental degradation. We primarily fund projects that work with sustainable finance, sustainable behaviour and climate communications. The Foundation’s overall aim is aligned with the Paris Agreement’s goal of keeping global temperature rise in this century well-below 2 ̊C above pre-industrial levels and to pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase even further to 1.5 ̊C. We pursue this by funding projects that provide answers to, change mindsets about, and encourage action on the challenges faced by current and future generations living on a planet with finite resources, fragile ecosystems, and climate change. KR Foundation was established on 21 December 2014 by VILLUM FONDEN and the descendants of civil engineer Villum Kann Rasmussen. The foundation is based in Copenhagen, Denmark, but works internationally. We collaborate closely with The Velux Foundations and the V. Kann Rasmussen Foundation.
