Stichting Steunfonds Pro Juventute supports innovative, non-government-funded work in youth care, with a clear emphasis on ambulatory/youth outreach services and practical initiatives for children and young people in difficulty. Their funding often goes to projects, research, films/publicity, training, and academic/knowledge-building activities that strengthen the field of jeugdzorg and highlight underserved groups such as children in poverty, detained youth, autistic youth, and undocumented refugee children. They also back high-visibility field-building efforts like lectures, chairs, and prizes that professionalize and publicize youth care in the Netherlands.
Modest project grants and occasional prize awards, generally in the $5,000-$25,000 range, with proposals reviewed multiple times per year rather than on a single fixed annual deadline. The funder also makes selective larger or longer-term commitments for chairs, lectures, and field-development initiatives; applications appear to be project-based and sometimes accepted for overseas work if Dutch leadership is involved.

Submit a project-focused proposal tied to youth care innovation, ambulatory support, research, training, or public awareness, and be explicit about why the activity is not yet funded by government sources. Since the board reviews applications several times a year and there is no clearly stated fixed deadline, it is worth contacting the foundation early to confirm fit, especially for international projects or higher-profile institutional collaborations.
