About Stichting Niemeijer Fonds

Stichting Niemeijer Fonds supports art, culture, and science in the Netherlands, with a clear emphasis on emerging and mid-career visual artists, especially women. It funds small-to-midsize project grants for artistic development, publications, residencies, and solo projects, and also backs a few signature programs such as the annual Theodora Niemeijer Prijs and the Mingler Scholarship for art-science collaboration. The fund also makes some institutional support to high-quality visual arts training environments like the Rijksakademie.

Giving Approach

Typically awards modest project grants of about $1,000-$5,000 through board review four times per year, with applicants advised to apply at least four months before the project start date. It also offers annual, program-specific support such as the invite-only Rijksakademie contribution and the once-yearly Mingler Scholarship, with larger one-off awards for prize and fellowship programs.

How to approach this funder

Submit project grant requests well in advance—at least four months before the planned start—and align proposals closely with visual arts, artist development, or publication/residency support. For the Mingler Scholarship, watch the annual deadline announced by the Akademie van Kunsten; for institutional support, expect invite-only relationships rather than open applications.
