You can apply for support for projects which promote animal welfare. – And we have a special focus on animals that are mistreated in human custody. Read more about the QATO Foundation’s support areas via the link below.

It is secondary to the QATO Foundation where in the world that the animals are located. If they are in need of help, and you have the project that can help them, then your chances are therefore just as good as projects for animals in Denmark. We are, however, very attentive that all projects should be carried out with great respect for the local population, the local natural environment, etc. – So, you should, to your advantage, explain how you have taken this into consideration in your project.

Natural-living, wild animals are not the QATO Foundation’s primary focus area, but we support, to some extent, good projects within this category. If you have a good project which deals with wild animals, you are therefore welcome to send in an application. If you are still in doubt, you can always contact the foundation’s secretariat for help and advice.

It means that we cannot support projects that accommodate political, economic, or business interests.

If you have not found the answer to your question here on our homepage, you are always welcome to contact the foundation’s secretariat.

There is no minimum or maximum amount you can apply for. Some worthwhile projects can be carried out with relatively limited funding, while others require more substantial financial support. Applications for larger amounts may be subject to additional documentation requirements.

You can happily apply for support for a part of a project. If it is a project which requires a large amount of funding, it can even be an advantage. You should just describe the following in your application and attached budget: How large is the overall budget; how much is the amount that is being applied for from the QATO Foundation, what the amount from the QATO Foundation is being used for in the project, and that the remainder of the costs for the project are covered and, if possible, by whom.

The QATO Foundation receives many applications – and more than we can accommodate positively. This means that even good applications for relevant projects can find that they do not obtain support.

No, not necessarily. Sometimes we will provide a grant to your project. Depending on the character of the project, this grant can be given as a commitment to support you on the condition that you will succeed in raising the remaining funds by other means so that the project can be completed in its entirety.

We do not give an individual reason for a refusal of an application.

You will receive an e-mail from the QATO Foundation when we have processed your application.

The vast majority of grants are paid automatically in full shortly after the grant letter has been received. In some cases, however, the grant may be paid in instalments, or additional documentation may be required before a payment can be approved. Your grant letter will always specify how your grant will be paid and whether you need to take any action in order to receive the funds. For Danish grant recipients with a CVR or CPR number, payments are always made to the NemKonto associated with the relevant CVR or CPR number.

If you wish to make changes to an application you have already submitted, please log in to the application portal and send us a message using the dialogue function for the relevant application. Briefly describe the changes you wish to make. Depending on the nature of the changes, you will either be informed that QATO Foundation has noted the changes or that your application has been reopened. If your application is reopened, you must make the requested changes and then resubmit the application via the portal.
