Stichting Lezen is a Dutch reading-promotion intermediary that funds and connects partners working to build lasting reading habits, especially among children and young people. Its support is concentrated on early-years book gifting, school-based reading programs, library and literacy infrastructure, and national reading campaigns that raise reading motivation and participation. The grantee list suggests it prefers collaborative, system-level initiatives with public institutions, libraries, museums, and sector coalitions rather than isolated direct-service projects.
Primarily programmatic, partnership-based support to organizations and coalitions rather than open individual grants; likely ongoing funding for joint campaigns, pilot programs, and infrastructure with a strong emphasis on collaboration and knowledge-sharing. Funding appears to support both recurring initiatives and sector-wide coordination rather than one-off charitable awards.

Prioritize proposals that show how your work will increase reading motivation among children or youth, especially through partnerships with schools, libraries, or national literacy coalitions. Align with existing programs such as BoekStart, De Bibliotheek op school, or campaign-style initiatives; unsolicited standalone requests may be less competitive than collaborative projects embedded in the reading ecosystem.
