Activities of foundations

The statistic is produced yearly by survey. Data is collected by electronic questionnaire or file report form. Error detection is conducted directly in the questionnaire or afterwards by standardized error detection routines. The published results are raised to the level of the population. A stratified random sampling is used on the basis of grants in previous and last years use of tax credits, as well as legal form.

Source data

The statistics are produced on the basis of a survey.

Frequency of data collection

Yearly

Data collection

The respondents can choose between an electronic questionnaire where the grants are aggregated, or a file report form, where the information is listed on grant level.

Data validation

The collected information is controlled by the standardized system for error detection in Statistics Denmark. The system gives warnings on consistency errors and unlikely values. Possible errors are controlled and corrected, in some cases by contact to the respondent.

Data compilation

The published results are raised to the level of the population. A stratified random sampling is used on the basis of the grants from the previous years (or last years use of tax credits), as well as legal form. By grossing up a reweighting and calibration using regression techniques is applied to the weight of the individual foundation. Imputation is not used, neither in the case of partially lacking information in the individual record (item non-response), nor in the case of completely lacking reporting from an enterprise (unit non-response). The latter, instead, is handling through reweighting as part of the grossing up procedure.
