About Stichting MR. N. Bolkesteinfonds

Stichting Mr. N. Bolkesteinfonds is a local Deventer-based funder that supports small, visible improvements in the public realm and projects that preserve or interpret the city’s history. Its grants tend to go to modest heritage and cultural initiatives—such as façade stones, signboards, small sculptures, and publications about Deventer people, organizations, and history—rather than large institutional programs. The fund is especially focused on projects within the municipality of Deventer, including village centers and rural areas, making it a strong fit for hyperlocal cultural heritage and place-making work.

Giving Approach

Small project and publication grants, typically ranging from about $100 to $5,000, with no fixed deadline. Funding appears to be responsive and local, supporting specific, tangible projects from available funds rather than large ongoing commitments.

How to approach this funder

Proposals should be tightly tied to Deventer and clearly show a public-facing heritage or beautification benefit. Since there are no fixed deadlines and small requests are handled from available funds, it is best to apply directly with a concise project description, budget, and explanation of local historical relevance.
