Call: Mutual heritage matching funds open for Dutch applications

The Cultural Heritage Desk of the Dutch Centre for International Cultural Activities (DCICC) allocates mutual heritage matching funds among Dutch organizations. Mutual heritage matching funds are meant to inspire and support initiatives that increase visibility or coherence of mutual heritage activities.

Matching funds can be awarded to projects from Dutch legal entities that:

• already have commitments from other financiers;
• are preferably organised with one of the partner countries (Australia, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, Suriname, Sri Lanka, the United States and South Africa);
• have a maximum duration of four years;
• preferably contribute to the awareness of mutual heritage and fit well with the central themes.

The amount to be awarded varies from a minimum of 5,000 Euros to a maximum of 50,000 Euros per year.

Matching funds are only available for Dutch heritage organizations. Heritage organizations in partner countries can apply for funding at the Royal Netherlands Embassy in their country.
