A grant is an entitlement to money from the community. It is usually a one-off amount that you therefore have to apply for again and again. With that amount, the applicant makes a contribution to realise the municipality's established policy. For example, in the field of care and welfare, education, sports, art and culture, integration and recreation.
These may be organisations and facilities to which the municipality makes a financial contribution, such as sports clubs, the library or playgroups. Small-scale initiatives by residents or foundations are also supported if they fit within the policy.
Each type of grant has its own ‘rules of the game’. Such as the amount of the amount, how you apply for it and how you have to prove that you spent the money correctly.
The higher the amount, the more rules and checkpoints.
The artificial turf fund falls under the Sports Infrastructure Support Scheme. It is an interest-free loan for the construction of an artificial turf pitch. The scheme is primarily intended for football and hockey clubs and, in exceptional cases, for other sports.
Are you considering submitting an application? The sports policy adviser at Apeldoorn City Council will be happy to assist you with this. You can make an appointment with him via gemeente@apeldoorn.nl or call 14 055.
