Stichting Steunfonds the International Molinological Society (TIMS) is a highly specialized funder dedicated to molinology—the study of windmills, watermills, and related milling heritage—worldwide. Its support is centered on advancing research, publications, and communications that deepen knowledge of the field, with a particular emphasis on Dutch-language scholarship and the broader preservation of milling history. This is a niche, mission-driven grantmaker rather than a general philanthropy, and its most visible award is a publication prize recognizing outstanding molinological work.
Very small, targeted awards; includes an annual publication prize of €1,000 and limited general support for specific molinology-related costs such as publications, media, and symposia. Likely invitation-based or field-specific rather than open, competitive grantmaking, with funding tied closely to TIMS priorities and the molinology community.

Align proposals tightly with molinology and demonstrate clear scholarly or heritage value. Emphasize publication output, conference/symposium impact, or communication of milling history; the publication prize is focused on recent Dutch-language work, while general support appears best suited to specialized, field-relevant projects rather than broad museum or heritage requests.
