Oogcontact Amsterdam (Stichting Blinden-Penning) is a Dutch fund supporting the integration, wellbeing, and independence of people with visual impairments. It gives primarily to Dutch organizations serving blind and visually impaired people, while also backing international projects in developing countries and ophthalmic research through UitZicht. The fund appears especially interested in practical, mission-aligned projects with clear benefit for daily functioning, inclusion, or eye health.
Makes mostly small project grants, often under €5,000, with larger requests considered case by case; decisions can take 3–4 months. It supports both domestic Dutch organizations and Dutch-based groups running projects abroad, and also participates in research funding via UitZicht.
Dutch organizations serving people with visual impairments should contact the fund directly with a clear project proposal and budget, especially if requesting a small grant. For foreign projects, the applicant must be a Netherlands-based organization working in developing countries. Because processing may take 3–4 months, apply well in advance and emphasize direct impact on integration, wellbeing, or eye-health outcomes.
