~Calling on Community Groups to Register Projects Before February 28 Deadline~
PHILIPSBURG:--- The SXM DOET team is urgently calling on community organizations on Dutch Sint Maarten to register their SXM DOET project(s) and submit their financial application(s) before the registration deadline.
SXM DOET, the island’s largest volunteer initiative, will take place on May 15 and 16, 2026, under the theme “From Jump Up to Step Up for a Brighter Sint Maarten.” The initiative provides organizations with the opportunity to receive volunteer support and financial assistance to execute projects that strengthen our community, organizations and improves the quality of life of the beneficiaries across the island.
With the February 28, 2026 deadline quickly approaching, the organizing team is encouraging NGOs, foundations, schools, sports clubs, neighborhood community councils, senior homes, at-risk youth organizations, and other non-profit initiatives to act now.
“Each year, SXM DOET makes a lasting, tangible difference in our communities, but that impact depends on the projects submitted by our local organizations,” the organizers stated. “We know there are many great ideas out there, and we strongly encourage organizations not to miss this opportunity to receive support, funding, and volunteers to bring those ideas to life.”
Organizations can submit projects focused on community beautification, social support, environmental improvement, at-risk youth and senior activities, facility upgrades, and other project ideas that benefit the wider community.
SXM DOET is part of a Kingdom-wide movement that mobilizes more than a thousand volunteers annually in Sint Maarten. The event not only delivers immediate community improvements but also showcases the spirit and importance of volunteerism and social responsibility on the island.
Organizations interested in participating must register their projects and submit any financial requests no later than February 28, 2026.
