At the LEGO Foundation, we work alongside partners, communities and families to create better conditions for every child, everywhere, to thrive and grow.
Rooted in children's lives
The LEGO Foundation is a Danish corporate foundation.
Since 1986, we have worked to nurture and protect childhood by focusing on the realities children face, supporting learners of all abilities, and responding where children are touched by crises and humanitarian needs.
By investing in the families, schools, communities and societies that shape childhood, we work to strengthen access to education, creativity and play.
This includes both grantmaking and impact investments that can grow and reach more children over time. With our partners in Denmark and around the world, we build evidence that helps drive lasting change for children.
In times of crisis, children are among the most vulnerable. The LEGO Foundation funds programmes that protect children's wellbeing and access to learning across humanitarian settings, from active conflict to recovery, ensuring that children can keep growing and learning, even in challenging circumstances.
Every child, regardless of how their mind functions, deserves to belong, participate and grow in environments that understand and value them. With a special focus on autism and ADHD, we work closely with partners across education, family support, community, research and advocacy to create a world where neurodivergent children are understood, valued, and have meaningful opportunities to participate in the environments that shape their lives.
As a Danish foundation, we are deeply engaged in supporting children in Denmark within the institutions and digital environments that shape their lives. We collaborate with municipalities, organisations and civil society to invest in education, care services and the support structures that help children learn and grow in a changing world.
We are committed to funding approaches that have strong evidence in education and child development. Evidence informs how we choose partners, design programmes and prioritise where we invest. When evidence is limited, we aim to help build it, so that more children can benefit from what works, at scale.
The LEGO Foundation pursues impact through two complementary pathways: grantmaking and impact investments. Both are designed to support solutions that can grow sustainably and reach more children over time.
By combining grants and impact investments, we can back innovation, scale what works, and strengthen efforts that improve children's learning, wellbeing and development. Any financial returns are reinvested into our mission, supporting new grants and impact investments in a circular approach that strengthens our ability to create lasting change.
