Is it possible to obtain funding retroactively?
The foundation does accept applications pertaining to projects that have been initiated. However, completed projects will not be considered.
Is it possible to obtain partial funding for a project?
Yes. It would be helpful if the application states how big a share of the total budget the applicant is asking the foundation to cover.

When will the grant be paid out?
Grants for acquisitions made by museums can be paid out immediately. Donations of works owned by the foundation to museums can be effected immediately. As regards publications, the grant will be paid out when the book in question is finished and published. Support for research trips is paid out before the trip begins. For decoration projects, a contract is drawn up, specifying a budget and schedule. Grants for research are paid out when employment contracts between the relevant researcher and place of employment have been sent to the New Carlsberg Foundation's secretariat.
What about taxes?
The foundation reports all grants to the Danish tax authorities, SKAT, citing the CPR/CVR number stated in the application.
Is it possible to submit applications in English?
Yes.
Is it possible to obtain funding for individual trips/stays abroad for education purposes?
No.
Why can’t applicants pre-select an artist for a decorative project?
The New Carlsberg Foundation actively engages in the professional development of all decoration projects for which funding is granted. As a result, the foundation does not deem it relevant to provide funding for pre-planned projects where the artistic terms and conditions have already been drawn up (for example by external consultants etc.).
