Saturday March the 31st The SXM Advisory Board of Funding Agency Samenwerkende Fondsen/ Cooperating Foundations of the Dutch Caribbean hosted a very successful information session for foundations and associations that liked to have more information about this funding agency.
The representatives of 36 foundations came out and received tips on how they can successfully file their project for funding and they got insight into the specifics of the funding policy of Cooperating Foundations. Projects that increase the binding forces within our society and/or target children, seniors and vulnerable people are eligible for funding. Salaries, construction and exploitation costs do not fall within the scope of the funding policy. The representatives asked many questions, that were answered by the members of the SXM Advisory Board, namely Angela Dekker, Perry Wilson, Claudwick Peterson, Richard Gibson Jr. and Gianne de Weever. About ten NGO’s took the opportunity to make an appointment with project advisors Leon Lake and Saskia Kliphuis in order to start working on their specific project request.
Foundations that would like to do likewise are advised to call 5860808 or email sa********@gm***.com for an appointment.
