Support smart solutions for social issues
The FMG Fund at the University of Amsterdam supports projects that translate scientific insights on people, behaviour and society into smart solutions to improve the world around us. For example, to relieve the mental pressure on young people, help reducing our plastic consumption or to work on a circulair city. As a donor you support our researchers who take concrete action for this. Will you help us make a difference? See below for an overview of current projects you can contribute to.

A safe haven for refugee students and researchers
Since the start of the war in Ukraine, the Amsterdam University Fund (AUF) supported around 75 UvA students from Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. Many of our donors felt affected by a war so close to home. But wars are also raging elsewhere and academics and students can find themselves in unsafe situations. Through the Study Without Borders Fund, we do our best to give these people a safe haven, too.
Academics and students all over the world receive threats because of their critical questions, their work, or their ideas. They need peace, protection, and academic freedom to be able to share their knowledge. By offering these people a safe place to study or work at the University of Amsterdam, we are able to safeguard public and independent knowledge.
With a grant from the Study without Borders Fund, we can offer refugee students and academics a safe place to study or work at the University of Amsterdam. But we can’t do this without financial contributions from our donors. Will you help us?
Crowdfunding for Ukrainian, Russian and Belarussian students in need
With the Russian invasion of Ukraine on February 24 the world as we know it has changed.
The UvA is closely monitoring the situation in the affected areas and is in contact with staff and students who are currently in Ukraine or Russia, and with students and staff from the region who study or work here in Amsterdam. We feel a responsibility towards all affected students, regardless of their origin or nationality.
We want to offer help and we support students and staff who also wish to do so. At this time, the situation in Ukraine is causing acute problems among Ukrainian, Russian and Belarussian students in terms of finances, study progress and residency status/visas. To help these students continue their studies in Amsterdam, we are starting an emergency fund.

All contributions, in whatever size, shape or form, are valuable and are greatly appreciated. You can also start a fundraiser to get others involved, and you can share this crowdfunding campaign via social media.
