Extra funding for adults for sports and culture
We want everyone to be able to participate in sports and cultural activities. That is why we have joined the Adult Fund Sport & Culture. Through this fund, we pay the cost of subscription and/or materials for adults on a low-income.
How does it work?
Do you want an allowance through the fund? If so, contact an intermediary. An intermediary is also called an agent. The website of Adult Fund Sport & Culture shows which intermediaries there are in the area. This could be, for example, a debt relief worker, community sports coach or social worker. The choice is up to you.
Road plan
- The intermediary will discuss your financial situation with you.
- That intermediary sends the application to the Adult Fund Sport & Culture.
- The adult fund contacts the sports or cultural association.
- The Adult Fund will take care of your application and pay for your subscription.
That enables you to participate in sports and/or culture without worries. Other participants do not know you are using this fund.

What amount is available?
You can receive a maximum of €300 per year. You will have to pay any additional costs yourself.
Conditions for reimbursement
If your income is lower than the amounts in the table, you are eligible for reimbursement through the Adult Fund Sport & Culture. These amounts are after tax and do not include holiday pay.
Is your income higher but you are not managing to pay all your bills? In that case, contact an intermediary. You may still be eligible.

Youth and student schemes
Youth fund
For young people under 18, we work with the Youth Fund Sport & Culture. For more information on this, visit the Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur website. An application works the same as with the Adult Fund Sport & Culture. We hope that this will ensure that young people will continue activities even after reaching adulthood.
Student sports pass
We have a different scheme for students who want to play sports. Are you living in the local authority area and studying (MBO, HBO or WO)? If so, a sports pass allows you to play sports at many providers for up to €95 a year. For more information, visit the Leeuwarden Student Sport website.
