About this website

Rijkscultuurfondsen.org is a website for cultural professionals in the ABCSSS Islands. It is a digital roadmap of a selection of schemes from the 6 national cultural funds. Navigate to the fund that best suits your plans one click at a time.  

The site is an initiative of the 6 national cultural funds: the Netherlands Film Fund, the Performing Arts Fund NL, the Cultural Participation Fund, the Mondriaan Fund, the Dutch Foundation for Literature and the Creative Industries Fund NL. Many of the national cultural funds’ schemes are developed for and available to cultural institutions and creators throughout the Kingdom. Frequent exchanges over the past few years in the form of conversations, working visits back and forth, responses and actions have made the funds aware that it is not always easy to find the right scheme with the right project when based in the ABCSSS Islands. The funds were advised to create a convenient place from which creators and institutions from the Caribbean part of the Kingdom could locate to grant opportunities. This website is that place. The funds are very happy to start you on your way. We wish you all the best.
