Kees van den Berg fund
The Kees van den Berg fund is part of the Midzomergracht festival organization Stichting De Overkant. The fund is based in culture, education and sport, Accessibility of LGBTI + (lesbians, homosexuals, bisexuals, transgenders, people with an intersex condition and everything in between).
Innovation & Improvement
The fund wants to enable activities that contribute to more contact, more knowledge and more understanding between LGBTI + and between LGBTI + and non-LGBTI +. Innovation and improvement can have a major impact. The people behind the fund therefore want to motivate organizations to devise and create innovative activities, to collaborate with new partners and to address new target groups. For example, with a financial contribution from the fund, organizations can develop projects that require longer preparation and higher production costs.
