Stichting Het Actiefonds is a Dutch private foundation funding grassroots direct action and movement-building worldwide, prioritizing protests, blockades, occupations, and other confrontational tactics that push for structural economic, political and ecological change. It deliberately supports frontline, often politically controversial groups—particularly those excluded from conventional funders—by providing small, rapid-response and seed grants to mobilize people and build local capacity. Grants are project-focused and short-term rather than multi-year institutional support.
