New project schemes 2025-2028
In 2024, all project schemes from the 2021-2024 policy period will expire and close. And that while little is yet clear about the new schemes from 2025. We can imagine that this raises questions. We will keep you informed via this page, our social media and our newsletter.
Last update: November 15, 2024. The next update is expected at the end of December or beginning of January

Policy period of 4 years
As a Fund, we work with policy periods of 4 years. The current period runs from 2021-2024 and therefore ends on 31 December 2024. This means that the schemes from this policy period will close in 2024. Currently, a large number of schemes have already closed.
What schemes are we developing?
The Fund's new policy period starts on 1 January 2025. In our 2025-2028 policy plan, we explain our plans and goals. The core is the social impact of cultural participation: culture for a resilient society. We focus on three subsectors. Within each subsector, we introduce a multi-year scheme, project schemes, and open calls. The Heritage Making and International Collaboration schemes will (partly) become part of the other schemes from 2025.
The development of schemes is done through a careful and legal process. Before a scheme is final, it must be approved by, among others, our Supervisory Board and the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. This means that we can only reveal a little bit under reservation.
