About Protest FUN(D)
The Protest FUN(D), part of Dekker Olifanta B.V. Protest Sportswear, has the mission ‘to help everyone ride more’. The Protest FUN(D) awards financial donations to non-profit organisations in Europe. Protest FUN(D) makes a financial contribution when Protest supports the initiative.
Protest FUN(D) never provides a contribution afterwards, and completed projects are not eligible for a donation.

Who is the Protest FUN(D) for?
Non-profit organisations; non-government organisations that want to achieve a particular social, societal or scientific goal. Non-profits are organisations without profit as their goal.

Checklist application Protest FUN(D)
Using this checklist, you can see if your project or organisation is eligible for a donation from the Protest FUN(D).
- Objectives: The project, initiative or organisation must have clearly defined objectives that fit within the mission of the organisation providing the donations. It is important that the project matches the values of the donating organisation.
- The donation benefits 100% to the non-profit's project or initiative.

Protest FUN(D) does not accept requests for substantive, financial and procedural reasons:
- Projects that have already been realised at the time of assessment.
- Projects with a political, religious or predominantly social purpose;
- Initiatives for which Protest FUN(D) would have to bear all costs;
- Projects with no substantial deficit (judging from budget and coverage plan);
- Individual needs (such as birthday parties, gifts, clothing, sports lessons, etc.).

When can you submit a non-profit application?
Each quarter, a donation of €5,000 will be made to a non-profit. We aim to provide feedback on all applications within 30 days of the closing date and announce which non-profit will receive our support. It is possible to submit your application via the digital application form throughout the year. Applications received via any other means will not be considered.

Closing dates; 31 March, 30 June, 30 September and 31 December.
