The Foundation’s mission is to promote and support educational initiatives and child welfare programs in the developing countries. The Foundation works with only a few projects each year, providing significant resources for projects and organizations that demonstrate exceptional promise, strong leadership and distinguished records of accomplishment.

Current priorities are:

* Developing High Potential Youth
* Offering proper education for orphan children, and children living on the streets.
* To develop the abilities of promising high potential youth worldwide.
* To support high quality education for young people in leadership, entrepreneurship and business education.
* To enhance academic performance and prospects for life achievement of students at the secondary school level.
* Open young peoples eyes to the world that surrounds them. Show them the context. They are part of it.
* Fight ignorance through communication.

In addition to providing financial capital, we enhance our grant making through the engagement of J. Langvad & Co. professionals who lend their skills and intellectual capital to the organizations we support.

The Foundation’s mission is to promote excellence and innovation in education worldwide. The Foundation is an important extension of the philosophy at J. Langvad & Co. The firm also encourages volunteerism through specific programs. We encourage our employees to take one month of volunteer work per year in some of our projects abroad.

Ineligible Parties and Projects

The Foundation does not make grants to individuals; fraternal organizations; political causes, campaigns, or candidates; or fund raising events.

Letter of Inquiry

Prospective applicants are invited to explain their ideas informally by submitting to the Foundation a short letter (of about two pages) describing the program or organization for which a grant is sought, its mission, accomplishments, budget size and current funding needs. Documentation of results achieved to date is highly desirable. Submission of published program descriptions or brochures also is encouraged. On the basis of this information, staff will determine whether additional materials are required and contact prospective grantees accordingly.

Grant inquiries should be directed to: foundation@jlangvad.com

The first J. Langvad & Co. Foundation projects will be launched in 2010
