Stichting Pastoraal Fonds Sassenheim is a community-based Dutch foundation that raises funds through a thrift store and reinvests the proceeds into practical aid projects in Eastern Europe, especially in Romania and Ukraine. Its giving is strongly hands-on and diaconal: it supports churches, schools, medical posts, meal programs, children’s homes, and village-level welfare through both cash grants and recurring in-kind transports of clothing, medical supplies, and mobility equipment. It also makes smaller local grants in the Sassenheim/Teylingen area for social welfare and neighborhood initiatives.
Mix of recurring in-kind aid shipments and small project grants. International support is often multi-delivery transport-based assistance with practical goods, while local Dutch grants are typically small cheques around €500–€750; support tends to be ongoing and relationship-based rather than open-call.

This appears to be relationship-driven rather than an open, competitive grantmaker. Organizations should connect through existing church, diaconal, or local partner networks and clearly show how requested support will be delivered in practical, visible terms (goods, transport, basic services, or small community improvements).
