Stichting Fonds 1818 is an endowed regional foundation that invests in small-to-medium community-driven projects around The Hague to strengthen social cohesion, support vulnerable residents, and improve equal opportunities and wellbeing. It funds both registered not-for-profits and volunteer-led resident initiatives, prioritizing practical, place-based activities such as neighbourhood events, social-care programs, language and education support for vulnerable groups, and locally‑focused sustainability and amateur arts projects. Grants are modest and intended to catalyze grassroots impact across The Hague and surrounding municipalities.

Makes modest, mostly one‑time project grants through two public programs: an Organizations Program for registered non-profits and social enterprises and a Residents' Initiatives Program for small volunteer-led neighborhood projects. Typical awards are small-to-medium amounts aimed at project implementation and community activation within The Hague and a 19‑municipality region; funding is place‑based, often restricted to specific activities, and favors collaborative, demonstrable local impact.
Apply with a clear, locally-rooted project plan that demonstrates direct benefit to neighbourhood cohesion or vulnerable groups, a realistic budget and volunteer/collaboration commitments. Use the appropriate program (Organizations vs Residents' Initiatives), show measurable community outcomes, and keep requests within their published grant sizes; highlight local partnerships and sustainability/replication potential.
