—Friend of MADART Foundation
A gift, not a ticket.
A yearly gift to MADART Foundation, and a way to stay close to the work. Three tiers, all of them gifts, all of them carrying only what a gift may carry.
You get no admission, no discount and no priority — those live with Curated by MADART, where they belong. What you get is that every euro a maker earns here stays with the maker.

€ 50 a year — around four euros a month
- The season letter, three or four times a year — what we chose, and why
- First word on a new season before it is announced publicly
- A written account of where the year's gifts went
Supporting Friend
€ 250 a year

Founding Friend
€ 1,000 a year

At this level we would rather speak first. Write to us and we will arrange a conversation about the year ahead before anything is signed.
—Why there is no admission in this
Dutch tax law is precise about this. A contribution counts as a deductible gift only when nothing of real value is given in return, or when what is given is merely symbolic. Free admission to an event is explicitly not symbolic. That is why Friend of MADART Foundation carries no admission, no discount and no priority — and why the membership that does carry those things lives with Curated by MADART instead, where it belongs.
Cultural ANBI status is applied for and not yet granted. Until it is, a gift to MADART Foundation is not tax deductible. The programme stands either way; the tax treatment follows later.
One more thing worth knowing, and it holds even after the status is granted. An ordinary gift is only deductible above €60 and above 1% of your threshold income, so a Friend contribution of €50 or €250 will not reach it for most people. A periodic gift has no threshold at all. If you want your contribution to count for tax, arrange it as a periodic gift; the amount and the tier stay the same.
