Respect2Love fonds
COC wil samen met queer BIPOC groepen bouwen aan een rechtvaardigere samenleving voor BIPOC lhbti+ personen. Hiervoor is het van belang dat er meer kansen en mogelijkheden voor ontwikkeling en groei voor de queer BIPOC community worden gecreëerd. Om die reden heeft COC het Respect2Love fonds voor (beginnende) BIPOC lhbti+ organisaties en initiatieven opgezet.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is the Respect2Love Empowerment program?
The Respect2Love Empowerment Program is an initiative of COC Netherlands and an important activity of the organization. Finding, coaching and supporting bicultural frontliners is essential to empower and mobilize individuals from the bicultural lhbtqi+ (queer bipoc*) community. With the empowerment program, we hope to make more role models more positively visible and strengthen their influence on the Dutch lhbtqi+ movement.
I didn't receive funding at first, but modified the initiative. May I resubmit the application?
Yes, you may. However, we would advise you to take a good look at the terms and conditions of our fund before sending in a modified version.
I am not getting funding, and would like to know why.
First of all: annoyed that your application was rejected! Unfortunately, we have limited capacity and cannot provide extensive responses to rejections. Usually you will receive a brief explanation of your rejection, and that is all. We do encourage everyone to apply again! The fact that we reject your application does not automatically mean that we think it is a bad idea, but that it may not (yet) fit in well with our fund. Therefore, we advise you to submit your application elsewhere first, or to see how it can fit in more. For example, there is the Trut Fund and the PANN Foundation. But also funds like the Oranje Fonds, Fonds21 and the VSBfonds are parties that might be interesting for your initiative!
