Stichting Marie Muntendam Fonds is the philanthropic arm associated with Soroptimist networks, supporting Soroptimist club members in personal financial hardship and helping clubs strengthen membership diversity. Its program giving centers on women and girls’ empowerment, with a strong emphasis on education, economic self-reliance, rights-based awareness, and club-led projects in the Netherlands, Suriname, and Curaçao. It also funds advocacy and visibility efforts, including a dedicated journalism prize and public campaigns connected to violence against women and girls.
Small-to-moderate grants, typically up to €3,000 per club project and covering no more than 50% of project costs; board reviews occur about every six weeks and club project applications are accepted year-round. It also makes permanent, policy-based support available for club member recruitment/diversity efforts and awards two €25,000 journalism prizes tied to Soroptimist objectives.
Club projects can be submitted year-round, but decisions are made at regular board meetings roughly every six weeks. Applicants should be Soroptimist clubs or aligned clubs with a clear women/girls empowerment or rights-related project, and should budget carefully because the fund caps support at €3,000 and no more than 50% of total project costs.
