procedure

All applications for funding are examined by independent committees. These consist of experts working in various fields within child-care services. The assessment of an application takes about two or three months. If the application is approved, you will receive a letter informing you of the size of the grant and the conditions attached to it. If the application is turned down, you will be notified and on the basis of this, you may submit a modified proposal or a (well-substantiated) request for your original application to be reconsidered.

When the project is running, progress will be monitored based on interim reports to Stichting Kinderpostzegels Nederland. A staff member of  Kinderpostzegels will sometimes visit the project site to see how the project is being implemented and what kind of results are being obtained.

final responsibility

At the conclusion of the project a debriefing will take place, covering the focus, activities and finances. At this stage Kinderpostzegels considers whether the project activities deserve to continue in a structural way. Kinderpostzegels looks at whether the project organisation is capable of maintaining the activities on a regular basis using structural sources of funding or whether the project should become part of an existing organisation.
