Applying for financial support
Romo Foundation is committed to reducing unnecessary suffering in people who are confronted with cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. We do this, among other things, by providing financial support to projects that fit our ambition, with our current focus on pediatric oncology and ALS. Initially, we proactively seek out programs or projects that we want to support. However, there are also initiatives that do not appear on our radar. If you have a program or project that contributes to our mission, you can apply for funding.
Application Process
The application process consists of two phases.
1. Through the Romo Foundation Portal you can submit a preliminary application for your initiative.
2. If the preliminary application is assessed positively, we will invite your organization to submit a project plan including a budgetary justification.
