Since 30 May 2022, the Dominican friars in the Netherlands, as Vicariate, are part of the Province of Saint Thomas Aquinas (Belgium).

– Research and training programs and scholarships for the purpose of the 
the activities above;
– projects in the field of art and culture in the context of proclamation; 
– projects connected with a Dominican friar, Dominican sister, Dominican laity or a former Dominican.

The fund pays out a maximum of €75,000 annually. The maximum amount granted per project is € 10,000. Donations have the character of a free gift. Donations are expressly once-off.

Donations are granted by the board of the Vicariate, on the basis of a recommendation of the Assessment Committee Dominican Contributions. Members of this committee are: friar Paul Minke OP, Ineke van Cuijk and Jan van Hooydonk (lay Dominicans).
