About the collaboration
Since 2015, the Prince Claus Fund has been fortunate to count the International Bureau of Fiscal Documentation (IBFD) as a dedicated partner. Over the past decade, our collaboration has been grounded in a shared belief in the importance of knowledge, creativity, and cultural resilience.
IBFD's expertise in international taxation plays a vital role in enabling organisations like ours to continue to support artists and cultural practitioners in some of the world’s most challenging environments. Their work makes it easier for artists to move across borders, for cultural organisations to thrive, and for governments to invest meaningfully in the arts.
IBFD’s commitment to independent, high-quality research and education in international tax helps build the kind of solid, informed systems that can support not just businesses and governments, but entire communities. And just as the Prince Claus Fund stands alongside cultural workers navigating complex environments, IBFD supports tax professionals working in equally intricate global landscapes.
"Our partnership with the Prince Claus Fund over the past decade reflects a shared commitment to the role that both tax knowledge and cultural expression play in strengthening societies. By empowering both tax and cultural communities, we are helping to build a more informed, inclusive, and creative world - where expertise fuels opportunity, and culture shapes our collective future.”
— Jan Maarten Slagter, CEO of IBFD
As we mark a decade of collaboration, we celebrate a shared vision of a world where knowledge and creativity reinforce each other. Together, we continue working toward a future where culture and expertise aren’t separate spheres, but two forces that empower people and communities to thrive.
