DESCRIPTION
As of April 2025, the Oranje Fonds launched their 'Impulse Fund: Young Change Makers!’, in the Dutch Caribbean. This fund is aimed at young people, encouraging them to contribute to a more connected and social society, as their involvement is essential for strengthening social connections. The funding has been made available for youth-led initiatives. Young people between the ages of 12 and 29 years old can apply for grants ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 XCG (former NAF/ANG), which will be assessed by a youth panel that includes those from the Dutch Caribbean. Are you interested in finding out more and get some assistance with pitching your ideas, then sign up for this information session!!!
