Who is this grant for?

The municipality of Wassenaar is home to children who, for various reasons, can no longer grow up in their own homes. They grow up in family homes, residential groups, and foster families. Some of these children are under legal guardianship. The municipality of Wassenaar wants to make it possible for people from the child's own network to take on guardianship as an alternative to guardianship by a certified institution.

This subsidy scheme is therefore intended for natural persons who reside in the municipality of Wassenaar and who actively exercise guardianship over a minor as a guardian.

By organizing guardianship within the familiar network, children grow up with people they know and trust. This promotes their stability, continuity, and well-being.

This scheme falls under the General Subsidy Regulation of the Municipality of Wassenaar 2025 (hereinafter: Asv). The scheme deviates from the Asv in some respects, for example in terms of the application period.

What is the purpose of this arrangement?

The subsidy is intended to support the work carried out by a guardian in the interests of the minor.

What activities are eligible?

The subsidy is only granted for activities directly related to the performance of duties as an individual guardian.

This includes at least the following tasks:

• exercising authority over one or more minors;
• legally representing the minor in relevant proceedings and contacts;
• managing the minor's assets, if applicable;
• supervising the safety, welfare, and development of the minor;
• coordinating youth assistance and aligning it with the relevant municipal authorities.

How does applying for a grant work?

You can submit your application using the municipality's digital application form. Health you have the following information to hand:

• certificate of appointment as guardian;
• copy of identification document;
• account number.

When can you apply for the grant?

Applications may be submitted at any time during the entire duration of the scheme. A maximum of one grant application per applicant will be approved per calendar year.

How does it proceed after your application?

The municipality will determine your subsidy within 8 weeks. Subsidies are paid in a single installment.

How will the grant be distributed?

Subsidies will be awarded in the order in which complete applications are received.

Please note that the grant is awarded only if the municipal budget allows it.
