Voorschoten Municipality Sustainability Fund

The municipality of Voorschoten has had a Sustainability Fund since October 2021. Erika Spil, Alderwoman for Sustainability, says: “We want to help residents of Voorschoten who have a good idea for making Voorschoten more sustainable. They can apply for a grant from that fund.” Of course, there are certain conditions you must meet to receive such a grant.

Any resident, foundation, school, or business can submit an application. What kinds of projects can you receive funding for? For example, energy-saving measures, sustainable energy generation for at least 50 households, energy storage, a sustainable distribution system, or sustainable construction. But also for initiatives related to the circular economy, waste management, nature conservation, or the costs of implementing or communicating a sustainable initiative. The funds cannot be used to pay staff. Nor may the grant be used to generate a profit. The amount you can apply for ranges from €500 to a maximum of €7,500. The municipality also specifically encourages young people to submit an application if they have a good plan.
