Episode #1: Matching Fund International Heritage Cooperation

The Funding Martathon aims to make information such as eligibility criteria, budget specifications, and special conditions easier to understand and more accessible to potential applicants. In each session, we’ll explain how a programme works, what projects fit, how to apply, and what we can learn from successful applicants.

Episode #1 focuses on the Matching Fund International Heritage Cooperation. This programme supports projects that contribute to the visibility of heritage that connects the Kingdom of the Netherlands with other countries included in the International Cultural Policy of the Netherlands.

Our advisor Anne Maamke explains the need to know's and is in conversation with multiple applicant and receiver of the fund: Lipika Bansal, founder of the Textiel Factorij.

The next deadline to apply for the Matching Fund is 22 March 2026. Advisory consultations can be scheduled starting from the end of January 2026.
