About Stichting Irenefonds

Stichting Irenefonds provides targeted emergency and one-time financial help to newcomers with residence permits and undocumented residents in Waadhoeke, the Netherlands, when needs are not covered by government programs or other funds. Its support is highly practical and humanitarian, often covering family reunification costs, basic necessities, study-related expenses, and unforeseen medical or living costs. The fund appears to work through direct, localized assistance rather than broad open grantmaking, with a clear emphasis on helping people stabilize after arrival or during crisis.

Giving Approach

Incidental, small-scale emergency support focused on individuals and local organizations in Waadhoeke; no unsolicited proposals. Grants appear to be one-time or ad hoc rather than part of a competitive application cycle.

How to approach this funder

Because the fund does not accept unsolicited proposals, applicants likely need a referral or direct contact through local support networks. Requests should clearly show that the need is urgent, local to Waadhoeke, and not covered by other agencies or funds, with specific documentation of the expense and why other sources cannot pay for it.
