About Stichting Instituut Gak

Stichting Instituut Gak funds projects, research, and fellowships that improve social security and labor market outcomes in the Netherlands. Its support is especially focused on helping people into paid work, including newcomers, people in day programs, and jobseekers entering shortage sectors, alongside policy-relevant research on labor and lifelong learning. The funder is distinctive for combining practical project grants with research calls and fellowships, often tied to specific thematic programs rather than broad, open-ended funding.
