Ole Kirks Fond is a Danish public-benefit, application-based grant-making foundation established in 1964 in memory of Ole Kirk Kristiansen, founder of LEGO, and based in Billund. It supports projects that improve the quality of life of children aged 0-18 and their families, with a main focus on vulnerable and disadvantaged children in Denmark. Its social area is its largest, and it also funds cultural, church, educational, humanitarian and local projects, mainly in Billund Municipality. Its grants are financed by the surplus generated by LEGO Group and KIRKBI employees. The foundation runs the systemic programme Barndom Uden Vold against violence against children, and supports a small grant pool, Hjertepuljen, for smaller projects.
