Stichting Fonds voor Cultuurparticipatie supports projects that increase access to culture through education, participation, and active arts practice. It is especially interested in collaborations between cultural organizations and schools or training pathways, with clear emphasis on VMBO/VSO/PRO, MBO, amateur arts, talent development, and the Caribbean part of the Kingdom. The fund favors practical, partnership-based projects that strengthen cultural participation across sectors and communities rather than one-off artistic productions.
Program-based grantmaking with multiple open calls, fixed application windows, and defined eligibility by sector and geography. Grants appear to range from small exploratory awards to larger project grants, with some programs offering phased support (e.g., verkenningen and projecten) and others supporting multi-year implementation.
Match your proposal to one of the fund’s open schemes and show a strong collaboration between cultural and educational or community partners. Tailor the project to the relevant audience (VMBO/VSO/PRO, MBO, amateur arts, or Caribbean schools), and apply within the stated open period; several programs use fixed windows and phased deadlines rather than rolling intake.
