Stichting Omgevingsfonds Maastricht Aachen Airport is a locally focused community foundation that uses airport-related compensation and mitigation funds to improve livability for residents around Maastricht Aachen Airport. Its priorities center on reducing nuisance from aircraft noise and flight-related impacts, while also supporting broader quality-of-life investments, research, and communication with local stakeholders. It typically funds projects and measures in Beek, Meerssen, and nearby areas within the airport’s 56 dB(A) contour, with a strong emphasis on practical, place-based solutions rather than broad social programs.
Program-based, highly place-specific support through targeted subsidies, compensation schemes, and commissioned initiatives. Grants can range from one-time project funding of roughly €100,000+ for livability investments to direct property-related compensation or purchase arrangements; some programs are deadline-driven and budget-limited, while others are invite-only or require alignment with specific geographic and technical criteria.

Check whether your project or property falls within the eligible 56 dB(A) contour or the specified municipalities of Beek and Meerssen before applying. Proposals should be tightly aligned to one of the six programs, show clear local benefit and durability, and for larger livability projects, demonstrate measurable impact and readiness to deliver; some measures have specific timelines or are subject to limited budgets, so early contact with the foundation is advisable.
