Welcome
Starting in 1991, Alert Fund for Youth has occupied a unique and independent position within the Dutch and international funding community. And that makes us proud! Alert Fund is run by a group of enthusiastic board members, all volunteers and between 18 and 36 years old. The fact that Alert Fund has been successfully managed by enthusiastic young people for thirty years is an illustration of what we stand for and believe in: young people want to and can make a serious, positive contribution to improve the position of other young people, by showing solidarity and involvement.
Alert Fund for Youth is an independent fund that supports progressive projects by young people. Young people are often not taken seriously. Young people do not get to make decisions regarding the world they will be using for the longest amount of time, even though they do want to. Fund wants to ensure that young activists are heard more often and better, but we believe that only young people themselves can do this. Therefore, Alert Fund supports national and international activistic youth initiatives with small grants.
