Apply for Fund for Responsible Business - FVO Pillar 1

FVO operates on the first come first serve principle. This means that we will assess complete subsidy applications in the order in which we receive them.

How to apply

The procedure consists of several steps:

  • We offer you a noncommittal orientation interview about the subsidy. If you are interested, please contact us by email at fvo@rvo.nl or telephone.
  • Before you can submit an application, you will go through an advisory procedure. You can request this procedure through the quick scan as described on the FVO page. Our advisor will then contact you and begin the advisory procedure.
  • After the advisory procedure, you can submit your final subsidy.
  • Download the application form.
  • Send in your application form and all annexes via eLoket.
To apply for a subsidy, you need eHerkenning level 1. Please note that processing your request for eHerkenning will take at least 3 working days.
