Ondernemersfonds Zwijndrecht

Established on January 1, 2017, Stichting Ondernemersfonds Zwijndrecht is a private foundation that aims to strengthen the local business climate in Zwijndrecht, the Netherlands. It is funded through a mandatory surcharge on the property tax (OZB) for non-residential properties within the municipality. The collected funds are then made available for projects and initiatives proposed by local entrepreneurs that benefit the collective, such as improving public spaces, enhancing safety, promoting local shopping areas, or organizing joint events. The fund operates on the principle of "by and for entrepreneurs," ensuring that the financial contributions from businesses are reinvested directly into the local community to foster economic growth and collaboration.
