Funding
A project such as the “De Hoop” flour mill can only be realized with the help of subsidies and other funds. The foundation board therefore invests a lot of time and energy in finding the necessary financial support. The entire operation of the mill is run by volunteers for whom no one, including the board, receives any compensation.
You can financially support “De Hoop” flour mill in ‘t Zand by becoming a sponsor. You can visit the mill for free all year round during opening hours. “De Hoop” is happy with all contributions to the costs. You can register by sending an e-mail to info@molentzand.nl. You can also transfer a contribution to account number NL84RABO0147898323, stating Sponsorship ‘Molen de Hoop’ and your name and address. You will then receive the sponsor card at home.
For companies, “De Hoop” can be an interesting sponsor object: you support a good cause and at the same time perhaps you can add the costs as a tax deduction. Moreover, we offer you a suitable consideration. This can vary from mentioning the name on the sponsor board to fully organized tours of the mill for you and your guests. “De Hoop” offers tailor-made solutions. Send an e-mail to info@molentzand.nl and we will contact you to discuss your wishes.
Gift and inheritance
You can also consider donating an amount to “De Hoop”. It does not always have to be huge amounts; any contribution is welcome. You can donate once or several years in a row.
You can also choose to designate “De Hoop” flour mill as (joint) heir in your will. Our foundation has ANBI status, which means that gifts are tax deductible in the Netherlands.

Sponsors restoration
The European Rural Development Fund awarded a large amount for the restoration. Contributions were also made by Arcadis, Bankgiro Loterij, European Machine Trading, Prins Bernhard Fonds, De Jonge Arnoldus Foundation, Zijper Mills Foundation, Province of North Holland, Rabobank, former Municipality of Zijpe and P. Zeeman Wieringerwerf. Oostwouder Tankbouw and Mammoet Transport and Lifting jointly took care of the displacement of the hull. Melanie Balledux of the Monuments and Advice Bureau was very helpful to us when dealing with various agencies.
