Jantje Beton is a Dutch children’s play foundation focused on making sure every child can play outdoors every day, with a strong emphasis on creating, improving, and protecting play space. It funds and mobilizes local youth groups, municipalities, schools, scouting units, and playground organizations through practical support, fundraising campaigns, and incentives for better public play environments. The organization also places clear attention on inclusive play, especially for children with disabilities, and on partnerships with companies that help finance or activate play initiatives.
Primarily program-based and partnership-driven, with support delivered through annual campaigns, shared fundraising proceeds, prizes/awards, and targeted subsidies rather than open competitive grantmaking. Grant and support amounts vary widely, from small local fundraising shares and materials support to larger sponsorships or contributions tied to specific projects; many opportunities are tied to annual events or structured programs, some with fixed dates like the yearly collecte.

Watch the annual timetable closely, especially the March collecte week, and apply or register early for participation-based programs. Strong candidates are local youth organizations, municipalities, and playground or community groups with a concrete outdoor-play project, a clear community benefit, and a focus on accessibility or inclusion. Corporate or municipal partners should frame proposals around safe, attractive, and more inclusive play spaces rather than general youth programming.
