DAWNs primary source of funding is a center of excellence grant from the Danish National research foundation, which runs for up to 10 years, starting in the fall 2017. In addition to this, DAWN will support its members to obtain personal grants from Danish and international funding agencies.

DAWN scientists at the moment hold three such grants, the ERC Consolidator Project: Connecting the Extreme (PI:Toft), the Villum Young Investigator Project: “Gas to dust, dust to stars” (PI: Magdis) and the DFF project: “The first generations of Galaxies” (PI: Watson).
