Volunteers are the beating heart of many social initiatives.
Be the Change Foundation and Oranje Fonds demonstrate through SXM Doet just how important active citizens are to society. Not a volunteer yet? During Doet, you can experience firsthand how fun and rewarding volunteering can be. For organizations, it’s a great opportunity to get extra work done—and, of course, to attract new volunteers! Doet takes place every year on the third weekend of May. In 2026, that will be May 15 & 16.
About Oranje Fonds
Oranje Fonds works towards a society where everyone can participate and no one is left alone. We strive for an involved society: where people care for each other, have equal opportunities, and feel connected to their community. We do this by supporting and connecting social initiatives. Social initiatives can apply to Oranje Fonds for financial support or take part in one of our programs, such as Cariben Doet. We provide not only funding, but also knowledge and access to our network. King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima are the patrons of Oranje Fonds.
