About the foundations

In 2017 a new Hempel Employee Foundation was established as a supplement to the already existing foundation, and support is therefore granted from either Hempel’s Employee Foundation from 1954 (CVR no. 74697712) or the new Hempel’s Employee Foundation of 2017 (CVR no. 38652508). When sending your application through our online application system, you will automatically apply for funding from both foundations.

How to apply

You have to send your application through our online application system. Once you are registered in the system, info boxes will guide you through the process.

If you are not able to make an online application yourself, we suggest you to contact your local HR department who can help you with your application.

After completion of the application, the secretariat assess whether your application is in compliance with the bylaws of the foundations and can be submitted to the Board of the Employee Foundations, who decides on whether or not to grant support. Please note that it may take some time before you receive an answer to your application. The Board meets 3 times a year.

How the Employee Foundations process your information

When you apply for financial support from Hempel’s Employee Foundations, you give your consent to registration and the processing of the personal information specified in your application (cf. The EU General Data Protection Regulation). The consent can always be revoked and you are entitled at any time to be informed of what personal information the foundations have registered about you. The foundations use the information to process your application and to generate statistics on a general level regarding applicants, beneficiary and grants.

The foundations will keep the personal information for as long as it is necessary with regards to the purpose described above. Sensitive information is either deleted at the request of the applicant or automatically after 6 years. Rejected applications are deleted 6 months after they have been processed at the board meeting.

If you wish to withdraw your consent, please contact us at: hempel@hempelsemployeefoundation.com.
According to the Danish tax law, the foundations are obligated to submit information about grants to Skattestyrelsen (The Danish Tax Agency) if you are liable to pay tax in Denmark. This is only relevant if you have a Danish civil registration number, on which the tax reporting is based.

Apart from this the foundations will not pass on any other personal information to third parties.
