General Information About the Tips and Lotto Funds
When playing Tips, Lotto, or one of the many other games offered by Dansk Tipstjeneste, such as scratch cards, the surplus proceeds are allocated to various charitable purposes. The funds from Dansk Tipstjeneste are known as the Tips and Lotto Funds and are distributed across three funding pools:
Pool A
From Pool A, grants can be applied for to support grassroots sports, including sports for people with disabilities and senior sports, as well as talent development and elite sports.
The funds can be applied for by sports associations and are distributed by the Greenland Sports Federation (Grønlands Idrætsforbund) and Elite Sport Greenland.
Pool B
From Pool B, grants can be applied for non-sport-related activities for children and young people.
Grants can be applied for by all children’s and youth associations through SORLAK.
Pool C
From Pool C, grants can be applied for charitable purposes, including cultural activities, public education initiatives, disease prevention and health promotion, social initiatives, outdoor and nature-related activities, as well as non-profit research purposes.
Sports associations and non-sport children’s and youth organizations may apply for funding from Pools A and B. These organizations may also apply for Pool C funding for activities that fall wholly or partly outside the criteria for funding under Pools A and B.
Private individuals and other organizations may only apply for funding from Pool C.
Processing Time
Please note that you should expect a minimum processing time of at least four weeks before your application is fully processed. You are therefore advised to clarify any questions and submit your application well in advance of when the funds are needed.
