Our community
“The Prince Claus Fund's mission of promoting cultural expression and creativity is something I strongly believe in, especially during these challenging times. As a humanitarian volunteer in Ukraine, I value their support for artists and the preservation of cultural heritage in conflicted areas. The positive changes and significant impact that artists are bringing to their communities are truly inspiring.”

The Prince Claus Fund has received its Equivalency Determination (ED) from NGOsource, confirming that we are equivalent to a U.S. public charity.

The Prince Claus Fund is registered with the Dutch Tax Administration as an Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling (ABNI), or a cultural Public Benefit Organization (PBO). This designation allows all donations to the Fund to be tax-deductible in the Netherlands, with additional advantages for long-term contributions. As a private individual, your donation can be deducted at 125% of the amount donated from your taxable income. Additionally, you can combine your donations to multiple cultural organizations for these benefits. For more information, visit the Belastingdienst website.
Making periodic donations offers the maximum tax advantage. This involves contributing at least €100 per year for a minimum of five years. To determine your individual tax deductibility, please check the relevant guidelines.

The CBF (Dutch Charities Regulator) grants a seal of approval to organizations that meet strict quality standards. This recognition signifies that the charity adheres to high standards of accountability and effectiveness. While requirements vary between larger and smaller organizations, about 80 percent of private donations are made to charities under CBF supervision. Donating to a CBF-approved charity ensures that your contributions are used responsibly, the organization is transparent, and it undergoes independent evaluations.

Your contribution directly empowers artists and cultural practitioners working on global challenges through socially engaged art. Our Awards and Programmes provide vital support to emerging, mid-career, and established artists, helping them create meaningful impact where culture is under pressure.
