Initiative Grant for Volunteer Organizations

If you are organizing an activity for your city, town, or neighborhood and meet certain requirements, you may be eligible for a financial contribution from the municipality. Your initiative must bring people together and strengthen the bonds between them. You can submit your application online.

We would like to know:

• What the activity is
• What the budget looks like
• Quotes or invoices for eligible costs

After submitting your application, you can track its status online via My Moerdijk.

Terms and Conditions

A grant may be applied for:

• by (an authorized board member) of a legal entity
• if the activity is not for-profit
• if the activity is open to the public (though an admission fee may be charged)

Grants are awarded only for eligible costs. These include costs for:

• rent equipment for the purpose of carrying out the activity
• rental of venue(s) for the purpose of carrying out the activity
• Thank-you gifts for the volunteers
• souvenirs, trophies, or medals

You will be reimbursed up to 50% of the eligible costs, up to a maximum of €3,000.

What do we ask in return?

When you apply for a grant, we enter into an agreement with you. You will receive a financial contribution, and we

• receive a report with a photo of the event
