General information about our application process:

The PlanetRomeo Foundation team consists of 8 volunteers. Please be aware that an answer to your email may take a few weeks, and our funding rounds take between 3 - 6 months, from the moment you hand in your application to the moment you receive the payment.
We have a two stage application process. After your initial application is approved, we will ask you to upload 3 documents: 1. Proof of registration of the organisation, 2. A recent bank statement, 3. A copy of the passport or (refugee) identity document, of the person authorized to represent the organisation and sign the Funding Agreement. Please make sure you have these documents ready, to help us finalize the contract and payment.
You may use a fiscal sponsor. In that case, we will need additional documents and information. This will be explained after your application has been approved.
Due to our limited budget, PlanetRomeo Foundation can only approve the most impactful, relevant and feasible projects. We prioritize applications from the Majority World (Asia, South-America and Africa).
Your application will auto-save, so you can close this window and come back at any time to work on the application, before submitting it.
You will receive our Evaluation Form, 6 months after signing the Funding Agreement. The stories about your impact helps us raise funds to support more projects like yours. We also ask feedback to improve our work as a funder. After we have approved the Evaluation Form, we share a Letter of Recommendation to help you find further funding.

Welcome to the application page of PlanetRomeo Foundation. We grant subsidies up to EUR 6.000,- to LGBTQI+ organisations. Before submitting an application, please take the following into account:

We carry out three programs, your project must fit the criteria of one of our programs:
- Community Organising
- Shelter
- Sports or Culture
You can only receive funding from PlanetRomeo Foundation once. There is an exception for organisations who received COVID Emergency Funding: you may apply again for our regular programs.
Grassroots organisations and small new initiatives are encouraged to apply! This includes organisations who have never received funding before. You may use a fiscal sponsor if your organisation is not registered and does not have a bank account.
Please be aware that we prioritize applications from the Majority World (Asia, South-America and Africa). Applications from Western-Europe including the Netherlands are unlikely to be prioritized.
