Description
1) Objective
Het Actiefonds is an organisation that supports the struggle for a sustainable and socially just world in which people and the environment are more important than economic interests. They do so by investing in bottom-up social change. It is their mission to support social movements and activists all over the world that fight for equality, sustainability and social justice. They are convinced that real change is always initiated and realised bottom-up. Change happens when enough people exert enough pressure on the powers that be, just like big social transformations have always been realised through people power in defiance of the rich and mighty. Their goal, therefore, is to support budding social movements. They give activists and social movements the financial means necessary to organise themselves, speak out and, ultimately, realise positive change. The combination of a global outlook with small-scale local action is typical of the unique way in which they work.
In some cases it is not possible to plan your protest weeks in advance, because of sudden political or societal developments. Therefore it is possible for them to treat your application as urgent, in which case they will make a decision within days. Your project responds to a sudden political or societal event and is therefore time-bound. The protest has not been planned yet; this option is specifically meant for unforeseen situations, not for last minute funding of activities that are already prepared.
2) Eligibility
Anyone who is planning to organize a protest is eligible for funding. However, while discussing your project they also check if the project is feasible, based on what experience and network the applicant has.
3) Location
Actions can take place in various countries worldwide.
4) Budget
The requested amount shall not exceed €250.
5) Application
There is no deadline to the application process and decisions are taken within days. Applicants can use the online submission form but they also provide their application form as a downloadable Word document. If it is filled in the offline form, please email it to project-hetactiefonds(a)protonmail.com.
