Interior Minister Heerma informed the Dutch parliament on 28 September of plans for the Community Fund, with €200 million available to support community initiatives.

Heerma wants the fund to strengthen communities and co-operation between businesses, civic groups and government. He also aims to simplify rules and reduce administrative work for volunteers and community initiatives. [1]
