WILLEMSTAD - Various institutions and foundations that receive government subsidies receive a one-off allowance. This has been announced by Minister of Finance Javier Silvania.
Previously, civil servants were paid a bonus of 1,750 guilders. The benefit serves as compensation for the corona period in which the civil servants had to hand in 12.5 percent of their salary. The government would now like to phase out this cut, but encountered additional conditions by the Dutch government.
With the approval of the Council of Ministers, Silvania has now also made 9.6 million guilders available for the one-off allowance for various organizations. These are foundations such as ABC Bus companies, Animal Rights, Social HousingFKP, Youth Foundation Bos di Hubentut and the White Yellow Cross.
The foundations have until 30 November to register and to account for the amount of subsidy to be spent.
