in both the United States and the Netherlands. The Foundation supports
cultural events and projects in the two countries. In 2013, the NAF:
- Awarded $169,000 for 30 grants to support exhibitions and exchanges in both countries, through its Cultural Committee.
- Awarded $565,000 for two grants to support Dutch institutions through its Friend Fund Committee.
- Conducted over ten self-supporting programs celebrating the ongoing influence of Dutch arts and culture in New York City, organized by its 5 Dutch Days Committee.
CULTURAL GRANTS: HOW TO APPLY
Applicants are encouraged to send a Letter of Intent to the Foundation if the project is at least still 9 months or more away from completion/execution.
The Letter of Intent is not a mandatory step in the application
process, and it is not a grant request. It can however be used to gauge
the committee’s interest. For projects fewer than 6 months away, please submit a full application (see guidelines below). All materials should be submitted by regular mail, NOT by e-mail.
Letter of Intent Guidelines:
- one page in length
- a brief description of the project,
- date(s) of performance and timeline,
- participants,
- grant amount requested,
- your contact information, including email address and telephone.
- submit the original and 3 copies
- fill out applicant information form online.
The Cultural Committee will review the letter and provide feedback to applicants by email,
so please include your e-mail address in your application. If the
Cultural Committee is interested in the project, the applicant will be
invited to submit a full grant application.
