Open call for innovative internet projects

SIDN Fund stands for ‘a strong internet for all’. They provide financial support to ideas and projects that aim to make the internet stronger or that use the internet in innovative ways. By doing so, SIDN Fund wants to help increase the social impact of the internet in the Netherlands. SIDN Fund is an independent foundation established by SIDN, the foundation for internet domain registration in the Netherlands.

Funding your project

There are two calls for proposals per year. Applicants can submit either a Pioneer project proposal or a Potentials project proposal. Pioneer projects are projects that aim to develop a good idea into a demo, pilot or experimental design. Our maximum contribution is €10,000 per project. Potentials projects are projects that aim to upscale a working prototype into a useable application with significant potential. Contributions up to €75,000 per project.

SIDN Fund does not support internationally oriented projects. To qualify for support, a project should have impact on Dutch society. The criteria are set out in full on the website (in Dutch).
