In the cooperation programme Future Religious Heritage, governments, church owners and representatives of heritage and civic organisations are committed to the future of religious heritage. And this is sorely needed because due to vacancy and other causes, much religious heritage is in danger of disappearing. The Future Religious Heritage programme is hosted by the National Cultural Heritage Agency (RCE). The money has been made available by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OC&W). The website has a subpage on the subject of church conversions.
