If there are foundations within this domain whose fixed number of grants cannot be determined
by means of memberships, the committee will assess these separately and award grants for
executive tasks if necessary.
In the application, the names of the board members are presented. It is up to the associations to
determine the division of the number of grants among their active members. Please note that
there is a maximum application of 9 grants per person per year.
2. Variable grants
The variable grants are based on a point system and should be applied for every year. To apply
for points for variable grants, proof of a committee needs to be provided. The associations fill in
