Elisabeth Strouven Fund
The Elisabeth Strouven Fund is a private fund that provides financial support to initiatives by organisations and institutions in Maastricht and its surroundings. This support is within three areas of focus: people, culture, and nature. Each focus area has its own geographical scope within which the initiative must take place.
For cultural initiatives, this area is the Euregion Meuse-Rhine, which spans parts of the Netherlands, Germany, and Belgium. These cross-border initiatives aim to promote the development of Maastricht and stimulate cultural participation, education, or talent development.
