Stichting Don Bosco Steunfonds supports young people from financially disadvantaged (foster) families in the former municipality of Sittard, helping pay for study and training costs from post-primary school through university or higher vocational education. A second, more limited stream provides financial or in-kind support to youth and young people’s associations or institutions in the local area that focus on development and education for ages 6–18. The funder is highly place-based and mission-specific, with a strong emphasis on reducing barriers to education for vulnerable local youth.
Primarily targeted, local grants with a narrow geographic and mission focus; awards appear to be modest support for individual study/training costs and occasional subsidies or material support to eligible youth organizations. Likely application-based and reviewed against strict local eligibility criteria rather than open-ended general giving.

Applicants should confirm they live in the former municipality of Sittard and meet the financial-vulnerability criteria, especially for individual study support. For organizational support, prioritize youth-focused groups serving ages 6–18 in the local area and show clear alignment with education and formation goals; expect a selective, mission-driven review rather than broad funding availability.
