Oxygen for ideas

Nothing is as powerful as a good idea at the right time. A transformative idea that makes an impact, that propels people or organizations forward. But ideas need oxygen to grow.
‍
Grants can be that oxygen. Not an end in itself, but the
means to bring ambitions to life.

About

Plus Projects

Plus Projects gets the most out of every project by identifying grant opportunities, unraveling complexity, and translating insights into compelling applications.

But we don't just scratch the surface. We delve into the ambition behind the project and what it takes to realize it. As a results, we not only build strong applications, but also more focused plans and projects that genuinely make a difference.

With a personal, critical, and professional approach, we ensure that ideas receive the funding and momentum needed to make an impact. That's our 'Plus' on every project.

Explore

Clarity on ambition, feasibility, and path forward.

Exploring is the moment when we slow down together so we can speed back up later. We don't start with a grant scheme, but with the question behind the question. What does the organization truly want to achieve? Where does the complexity lie? What is realistic, and what role can grants or other funding play?

You'll get incisive questions and a clear picture of opportunities, risks, and potential paths. This clarifies the next step, even when the conclusion is that a grant is not yet the right move.

Extend

From project idea to actionable plan with funding.

Accelerating is designed for organizations that know where they want to go and are committed to making it happen. In this phase, we translate your project idea into an application strategy and a well-conceived project plan that is substantively sound and organizationally feasible.

This creates coherence between the grant application and the project between planning, partners, and justification. At the same time, we remain critical of the project plan itself, ensuring that it is convincing on paper as well as feasible in practice.

This way, we ensure that grant funding is not only awarded but also genuinely contributes to progress and impact.

Embed

Structure, governance, and long-term certainty.

Embedding is about sustainability. Subsidies are no longer isolated projects, but an integral part of how the organization operates and makes decisions.

We assist in establishing structure and overview. This includes governance, portfolio choices, a subsidy calendar, and clear role distribution. This creates a way of working in which innovation and development are systematically supported.

Schedule an
intake

Schedule an intake

A good subsidy approach doesn't start with a scheme, but with insight. During an intake, we explore your current position, what you want to achieve, and the best path to get there.
‍

You'll receive incisive questions, honest feedback, and initial guidance. Even if that means a subsidy isn't the right step at this moment, or that collaboration would be better initiated later. We only work in transparency and genuine commitment, as that is the foundation for success.

Grant pathway for circular innovation

How we helped Teal accelerate their mycelium innovation with the right subsidy.

Teal develops biological burial caskets from mycelium, a natural material that returns to the soil. For this step, Teal was not only looking for subsidies, but also for a partner who could help figure out the right approach.

Suitable grants for digital innovation

Living rooms, meeting rooms, and industrial environments are full of them: individual remote controls, each with their own logic and limitations. ICP Systems realized there was a better way. With the ICARUS Blue system, they aimed to develop a single smart solution that combines ease of use and control, applicable for both consumers and professional environments.

But such an ambition requires more than a one-time development.

Sustainability grants for commercial real estate

SKF faced a complex challenge: making its Dutch branch future-proof. Growth, innovation, and sustainability had to come together in new housing without energy performance, technical choices, and investment budgets conflicting with one another.

It wasn't just about new construction or renovation, but about a coherent whole of installations, measures, and choices that had to make sense in the long term.
