Acerca de Stichting Gerard Leeu Fonds voor Gedrukt Erfgoed
Stichting Gerard Leeu Fonds voor Gedrukt Erfgoed supports the preservation, study, and expansion of Dutch printed heritage, with a clear emphasis on rare books, historic manuscripts, bookbindings, and other collectible print materials. It appears to fund institutions and projects in the Netherlands that conserve, restore, research, exhibit, or acquire significant printed works, often in collaboration with museums, libraries, and academic collections. The funder is especially aligned with high-value heritage objects and the scholarly infrastructure around them, rather than broad public programs.

Project-based grants for Dutch heritage institutions and collection projects; support appears to be targeted, selective, and often tied to acquisitions, conservation/restoration, research, or exhibitions rather than open-ended operating funding.
