Stichting Huib Kluijver Fonds is a small Dutch ornithology-focused funder that supports practical research costs, field equipment, and occasional publication-related guarantees. Its priorities center on bird ecology in the Netherlands—especially resident and migratory species, breeding, distribution, and movement patterns—with some openness to select international work that clearly connects to Dutch ornithological interests. It also appears willing to help researchers and students participate in ornithological conferences or expeditions when the project is aligned with its mission.
Small competitive grants, typically up to €2,500 per application and exceptionally €5,000, awarded twice yearly with deadlines on April 15 and October 15. Funding is usually for material costs or specific research needs rather than large operating support, and some awards may be conditional on a balanced budget.

Prepare a concise, science-focused proposal that clearly ties the project to ornithology—especially Dutch breeding or migratory birds—and itemize eligible material costs. Submit before the April 15 or October 15 deadlines, keep the budget modest, and explain why the work fits the fund’s mission; international requests are most competitive when they have a clear Dutch ornithological connection.
