The neighbourhood budget (wijkbudget) is a form of financial support for the ideas of our residents. You can apply for the neighbourhood budget online.
The neighbourhood budget supports ideas where residents can create opportunities to better learn each other or do something for one another. Or ideas that improve the environment where people live. It can be big or small, for the street, the whole neighbourhood or even a district of the whole city.
For example:
Are you part of a foundation or an association (or other legal entity)? If so, you have to meet conditions. The foundation or association may not be a non-profit organisation. You can also only use the neighbourhood budget for activities that are organised from time to time, not always at fixed times or throughout the year.
Are you unsure whether or not you apply for a neighbourhood budget? Then contact the gebiedssecretaris (area secretary) of your district by calling 14 036.
The gebiedssecretaris (area secretary) of the district where you live will determine whether or not you can receive the neighbourhood budget.
You can apply online. The gebiedssecretaris (area secretary) will contact you and inform you what else is needed. Did you receive the neighbourhood budget? Then make sure to send an account within 3 months after the activity. This is an explanation of what you did, supplemented with documents such as bills (invoices), receipts, pictures of the activity and a short report.
For questions about the neighbourhood budget, contact the gebiedskantoor (area office) closest to your neighbourhood (in Dutch). You can also call 14 036. Ask for the gebiedssecretaris (area secretary) if the gebiedskantoor is near your neighbourhood.
