Zoöp Fund

Welcome to the Zoöp Fund!

Does your organization want to become a Zoöp, but is the financial commitment currently too much? The Zoöp Fund is here for you.

The fund, made possible in part by Stichting DOEN, gives these organisations the opportunity to take the step toward becoming a Zoöp. After all, both large and small organisations—regardless of their financial means—bring new ideas, experiments, and perspectives that are vital for an economy that works for all life.

Each year, the Zoöp Fund covers the €5,000 Zoöp fee (or a portion of it) for a select number of organisations. In this way, we make Zoöp accessible to organizations that might otherwise lack the financial capacity to participate.

Your organisation is eligible if:

  • your annual turnover is less than €250,000;
  • you want to become a new Zoöp, or are already a Zoöp and need financial support;
  • you intend to use the fund once; partial support may be possible the following year if there is a prospect of financial self-sufficiency;

The organisational form does not matter: foundation, association, cooperative, private limited company (BV), general partnership (VOF), sole proprietorship, etc. – anyone can apply.

What do you receive from the fund?

Exactly the same as any other Zoöp. You start your own regenerative learning process with:

  • a suitable Speaker for the Living;
  • a baseline assessment;
  • the Zoonomic annual cycle.

In short, the working method remains the same; the difference lies in where the funding comes from.

Do you want to submit an application?

We’d love that! We keep it simple.

  1. Fill out the online form
    Do this no later than October 15, 2026. In the form, you will answer a few brief questions about your organization, your ambition, your motivation, and your financial situation.
  2. We review the applications
    As soon as possible after the closing date, we will review all valid applications and make a selection.
  3. A short interview follows a positive selection
    In November, we will invite a number of parties for a follow-up conversation. After this conversation, you will hear as soon as possible whether you have been selected. We will then match you with a Speaker for the Living and start the Zoöp process. The programs are expected to begin in December 2026.

Not sure if your organization is a good fit?

Just apply.

We are particularly interested in organisations that are exploring new paths, want to experiment, and wish to make their way of working more regenerative step by step.
