Fonds Sluyterman van Loo supports older adults by funding connecting activities that bring meaning, joy, energy, and social contact through art, culture, conversation, and movement. Their grants tend to back practical, community-based initiatives in the Netherlands and the Caribbean part of the Kingdom, especially projects that help people 70+ participate actively rather than passively receive services. They also fund development and scaling of proven formats, showing a strong interest in spreading successful engagement models for older adults.
Primarily a rolling open-call funder with an online application portal; small grants can be fast-tracked up to €3,000 with decisions in about 6 weeks. They also run periodic open calls and development programs for specific formats, with some initiatives having fixed deadlines and others accepted year-round.
Apply through the online portal after completing the quick intake; the general loket is open year-round, while some open calls have fixed deadlines such as 15 June 2026 and 1 July 2026. Emphasize how your project creates connection for adults 70+, uses arts/culture/storytelling/movement, and is practical, participatory, and easy to scale or repeat.
