The Netherland-America Foundation supports bilateral exchange between the United States of America and the Netherlands. It was founded in 1921. Two of the founders were Franklin D. Roosevelt, later the U.S. president, and Thomas Watson, founder of IBM.
The Foundation is currently (2009) under the patronage of members of the Royal Family of the Netherlands Princess Margriet of the Netherlands, and her husband Pieter van Vollenhoven.
The aim of the Foundation is the support of exchange between the countries in education, performing and visual arts, sciences, business, and public policy. This results, for example, in the awarding of NAF/Fulbright Fellowships, and educational grants to support exhibitions, dance performances, visual arts, historic research and preservation, etc..
