The criteria for receiving funding include aligning with one of the three focus themes and demonstrating innovative solutions for a better world. **Recent Projects** Recent projects include the PostcodeLoterij Buurtfonds, which supports small neighborhood projects aiming to improve neighborhood cohesion and quality of life, and initiatives in sustainable energy, particularly in Africa and Asia.
