Dannebrog Foundation 
The Danes in Australia project is sponsored by the DANNEBROG FOUNDATION. 

The Dannebrog Foundation administers the capital that resulted from the sale - in 2009 - of the Danish Club property at Beaconsfield Parade, Middle Park in Melbourne. 

The income from that capital is made available to deserving projects, which strengthen the relationship between Denmark and Australia.
