Stichting Helden der Zee-Fonds Dorus Rijkers is a Netherlands-based maritime philanthropy that primarily supports sea rescue organizations, maritime heritage, and related cultural and educational initiatives. It also provides direct financial help and seasonal support to needy former rescuers, widows/widowers, and dependents, reflecting a strong welfare component alongside its mission-driven grantmaking. Typical recipients include rescue stations, maritime museums, heritage groups, sea cadets/scouting groups, and select research or fellowship programs tied to Dutch maritime history.
Primarily invite-only or through established maritime funding mechanisms such as Samenwerkende Maritieme Fondsen; supports appear to be project-based and relationship-driven rather than open applications. Grants range from operational support and equipment purchases for rescue stations to museum fellowships and small gifts/assistance for eligible individuals and families, with some seasonal/Christmas distributions.

Most support is invite-only or routed through SMF, so unsolicited applications may not be the norm. Nonprofits should align proposals closely with Dutch maritime rescue, heritage, museum, education, or rescue-welfare priorities, and check SMF or partner channels for formal submission steps and eligibility in the Netherlands.
