Our philanthropic mission

In addition to our social activities, we raise money to make annual grants to charitable projects in Copenhagen, tri-annual cultural awards to Americans in Denmark and tri-annual scholarships to Danes wishing to study in the United States. In addition to giving money, our members donate goods and services to local charities.

We also contribute to FAWCO’s charitable work, through its Target Program and the The FAWCO Foundation.

We encourage the spirit of volunteerism among our membership by asking members to contribute time and energy to our fundraising and community efforts. If this sounds like fun to you, join us!
