Every child deserves a childhood
Here for every child
Since 1986, we have worked to nurture and protect childhood, supporting efforts that help children grow, learn and become.
We focus on the realities children face, addressing barriers, supporting learners of all abilities, and responding where children are touched by crises and humanitarian needs. By investing in the holistic ecosystems that shape childhood — from families and schools to communities and entire societies – we work to strengthen access to education, creativity and play.
Through partnerships in Denmark and around the world, we work alongside those closest to children’s lives. Together, we build evidence to drive lasting change — improving systems, lifting up young learners, and creating the conditions for every child, everywhere to thrive and grow.
Crisis & humanitarian settings
In times of crisis, children are among the most vulnerable. The LEGO Foundation acts to fund programmes that protect children’s access to education in crisis, ensuring that children can keep growing and learning, even in the hardest circumstances.
Special Educational Needs & learning opportunities
All children, regardless of ability, deserve the opportunity to learn and grow by taking part in a quality education. With a special focus on Autism and ADHD, we work closely with educational organisations to strengthen support for neurodivergent children and their families, delivering proven interventions to help more children thrive.
Denmark
As a Danish foundation, we are deeply engaged in supporting a thriving childhood for every child in the key institutions and digital environments that shape their lives. We collaborate with municipalities, institutions and civil society to invest in education and wellbeing systems that help children learn and grow in a changing world.
Building evidence, shaping impact
Our philanthropic mission is to support initiatives in education, research and child development – both directly and indirectly. We are committed to impact that can be measured, and sharing evidence openly so partners, communities and governments can see what truly helps children thrive and grow.
