Stichting Armoedefonds focuses on fighting and easing poverty in the Netherlands by directly supporting local aid organizations with both cash and in-kind goods. Its programs are especially oriented toward practical, immediate relief for people facing material deprivation—such as school supplies for children, hygiene and menstruation products, clothing, food support, and winter care packages for older adults. The funder also works through partnerships and matched-funding actions with companies and local campaigns, making it a strong fit for grassroots, low-threshold organizations serving vulnerable households.
Mix of direct cash grants, in-kind product distribution, and matched fundraising support. Grants are typically for local Dutch organizations, with some programs running seasonally or year-round; financial applications are accepted three times per year, while goods and product allocations are distributed based on availability and need. Typical support is small-to-moderate, highly practical, and often tied to specific projects or population groups.

Apply through the specific program that matches your need: financial support has three annual application rounds, while goods and MUP participation are more continuous and depend on availability. Priority goes to local Dutch organizations working directly with people in poverty, especially around children, hygiene, clothing, food, debt support, or winter relief. For corporate/product-donation collaborations or matched fundraising, be ready to show a clear local poverty-relief project and concrete distribution plan.
