Gerrit Blaauw Fonds is a local Dutch community foundation that supports both individuals and institutions in the former Wormerveer/Wormer/Jisp area, with a stated preference for people facing physical disability or financial constraints. Its giving spans health, culture, sport, science, and broader social welfare, and it also operates a separate sub-fund for post-academic medical and economic research. The fund appears especially oriented toward practical, place-based support rather than large institutional philanthropy, with a strong regional footprint in Zaanstad and Wormerland.
Modest local grants and individual support, with applications reviewed at board meetings about once every two months; no fixed public deadlines. The fund is largely place-based and appears to make targeted awards to individuals and institutions within its defined service area, including a separate research-oriented sub-fund.
