Stichting Noodfonds Vluchtelingen Zeeland (Refugium) is a small, local emergency fund that helps refugees and asylum seekers in Zeeland cover urgent, essential costs tied to residence procedures, family reunification, and immediate humanitarian needs. It primarily supports clients of VluchtelingenWerk Zuidwest-Nederland (region Zeeland), and occasionally extends help in exceptional cases beyond standard channels. Its support is highly practical and crisis-oriented, often filling gaps when no other funding is available.
Small, rapid-response grants and occasional loans, typically up to about €1,000 and often less. Support is case-by-case, tied to immediate needs, and appears to be administered through referrals or direct contact with VluchtelingenWerk clients rather than an open competitive grant cycle.
Applicants should be clients of VluchtelingenWerk Zuidwest-Nederland in Zeeland and should apply through the local refugee support network rather than a public grant portal. Prioritize clear documentation of the urgent cost, why it is necessary for residence or family reunification, and why other funding sources are unavailable; exceptional cases may be considered even when the applicant is outside the usual municipal coverage.
