In addition to being awarded funding, every applicant that successfully applies to start an idea in their community in Denmark will receive a range of supports, including:

• A 5 step starter guide for your chosen project


• Free tech tools & website to help get your project started and manage your group


• Advice & support via email and Zoom

The Denmark Community Challenge is open to existing groups and individuals (once they form a team) across the Greater Copenhagen area to start new projects, or expand an existing project, in their community.

You can choose to select from the portfolio of ideas on the ChangeX site that address environmental issues, digital skills learning and improve community wellbeing.

If you're applying with an existing project, the project must address one of the following thematic issues:

• Environmental Sustainability


• Digital Skills

Examples of eligible groups include schools, universities, colleges, daycares, churches or other faith-based organisations, hospitals and hospital rehabilitation centres, mental health facilities, community gardens, neighbourhood groups, senior centres, and community centres.

This fund is available to help support new community projects across the Greater Copenhagen Area. Each applicant who successfully completes a 30 Day Challenge and an Impact Challenge will receive funding amounts ranging from 4,000-40,000 kr to help get their selected project off the ground.

The steps to complete the 30 Day Challenge include:

• Scheduling a 15 min call with one of the ChangeX team


• Recruiting 4 people to join your team


• Hosting a kick-off meeting


• Sharing a team photo & a short action plan 

If you are applying with your own community project, there will be a review process, and those applications that best fit the criteria will be allocated funding. You will then complete a simplified 30 Day Challenge and an Impact Challenge to receive your funding.
