The support of the National Postcode Lottery for the past 24 years has been essential for our work in the field of culture and development.
For us, it is a statement of trust and assurance that the Prince Claus Fund can continue making a significant contribution in supporting cultural expression under pressure by supporting creative individuals, artists and human rights defenders.
Our themes
CLIMATE
Culture can play its part in the fight to avert or limit climate disaster by raising awareness of, and creating insight into, the experiences of people, communities and ecosystems that are suffering the effects of climate change.
FREEDOM
People and communities should be able to act, live and express themselves as they choose, without impeding the freedom of other people or communities. Meaningful freedom requires both absence of constraints but also the capability to exercise agency and actively pursue goals.
EQUITY
We need to rectify the unequal division of resources, opportunities, representation and justice between different communities, including racial, gender, class, caste, nationality, or disability-based inequalities. We believe that to achieve fairness we need to begin with a recognition of the diverse needs of individuals and groups as well as the complex intersections of different categories of oppression.
How to contribute
You can contribute by financial donation or programme-focused collaboration.
Your contribution can make a significant difference in empowering artists from diverse backgrounds and regions to create meaningful and impactful work. By donating to the Prince Claus Fund, you’ll directly support our mission and programmes that promote knowledge exchange, social innovation, and artistic expression.
We collaborate with Funds and Foundations from around the world. With a shared vision, we can co-create a programme with a geographical and thematic focus catered to our global network.
