Money for a good idea

Do you have an idea to green Lelystad? For instance by planting flowers in your own street. Or hanging up birdhouses in your neighbourhood. If so, you may be able to get money for it. Centrada, Lelystad municipality, Flevoland province, recycling shop de Groene Sluis and other parties have money available for green ideas. This will make your idea even more fun!

Buy a green roof now at a discount

From A Greener Lelystad Lelystad Council and IVN Flevoland are working together with residents to increase the number of green roofs in the city. Through the Groene Loket, you can now receive a 30 per cent grant towards a green roof. If you apply for a green roof together with your neighbours or as a residents’ association, the discount rises to 50 per cent. Will you join in?

Green roofs help reduce the heat in your street.

A traditional roof traps heat. A green roof, on the other hand, helps to cool the area. The layer of plants provides fresh air and reduces heat. Green roofs also effectively collect rainwater during (heavy) downpours. In addition, the plants attract bees and butterflies. This brings more nature to the neighbourhood. The more green roofs there are in the neighbourhood, the cooler and healthier the environment becomes.

Sign up and discover what you can do

You can easily sign up via the campaign page. You’ll immediately see what suits your roof and your budget. Register your roof using the calculation tool. You’ll see your benefit straight away. Registration is non-binding.

Better Neighbourhood Contribution

Centrada tenants can also get help. Centrada supports good ideas with a financial contribution, the Beter Buurt Bijdrage. So do you rent a house from Centrada and do you have an idea to make the neighbourhood more fun or cosy? For example, flower boxes in the street or a bench for the courtyard garden.

Via Mensen Maken De Buurt you can receive money for more atmosphere in your neighbourhood. All ideas for a nice neighbourhood, in which you participate, are eligible. The money is meant for plants, a bench, flower boxes or other ideas. The conditions for submitting an idea are simple: from the neighbourhood, for the neighbourhood, by the neighbourhood!

Fund for Culture & Nature projects

You can apply to the Culture Fund for funding for your cultural or nature project. You can apply as a foundation, association, collective or individual creator. The maximum contribution for a project is €5,000 for an individual application and €15,000 for a foundation or association. You can apply for various projects. For example, restoring pools, mapping a habitat or purchasing wildlife cameras for research.

Green Lock Fund

The profits of recycling shop De Groene Sluis go to good causes in and around Lelystad. So you can get money for your good idea too! However, it is important that you are an organisation, because De Groene Sluis does not give money to private initiatives. The more concrete the project, the better.

Motion market Lelystad

At the Motiemarkt, residents and initiatives can promote their ideas for the city. If there is enough interest, the idea will be turned into a motion by councillors. A motion is a proposal to the council to implement a project or plan. Together with the councillors, you get to work on your idea.
