- Applications must be submitted by a not-for-profit organisation: a foundation or association.
- The project concerned must be carried out within our region and focus on the population of that region.
- Applicants must be based in our region. We can make exceptions for national organisations if they have a unique plan that involves working with partners within our region.
- There must be at least six weeks between the start date of the project and the submission of the application.
- Projects must have a social objective. By this we mean projects that aim to provide structural help for vulnerable people, to promote equal opportunities, to create lasting ties between people and/or to improve the living conditions in a neighbourhood or area.
- Projects may not have a political or religious character. This includes projects designed to enlist political votes or religious followers.
- Projects must not focus on individuals (i.e. one specific person or family).
- We will not fund organisations that pay employees more than the rates specified in the Dutch Senior Executives in the Public and Semi-Public Sector (Standards for Remuneration) Act.
- Voluntary participation is a very important factor.
- Applications will only be accepted if submitted via the form on this website (in Dutch). We will return any other applications and ask the applicant to re-apply using the appropriate form.
