Financing partners
Dutch Postcode Lottery
IUCN NL has been a beneficiary of the Dutch Postcode Lottery since 2001 and receives an annual contribution, which it is free to spend on its mission, amounting to €900,000. IUCN NL has used this support since 2001, to manage the Land Acquisition Fund, among others. The contribution is also used to fund our activities for the platform of Dutch IUCN member organisations.
In addition to the standard contribution, IUCN NL regularly receives additional project funding from the Lottery. In 2022, together with Wilde Ganzen we received funding for Strengthen the Roots and in 2023 we could start the Bottom Line! project, thanks to the Postcode Lottery’s generous support.

Deltaplan for Restoring Biodiversity
As a partner of the Deltaplan for Restoring Biodiversity we work to make the Netherlands a country in which people and nature can flourish. The Deltaplan’s ambition is to transform biodiversity loss in the Netherlands into biodiversity restoration. A broad social movement is needed to achieve this. The Deltaplan unites knowledge institutes, agricultural representatives, citizens, businesses, nature and environmental organisations and banks.
