—Support us
Buying a work is the most direct way to support a maker.
100% of a sale goes to the maker. If you would rather support the room itself — the production, the presentation and the fee that make a season possible — this page is for that.
01Give once
Every amount goes into the same place: what it costs to put a maker's work in a room and keep it there for three months.
What each amount buys is an illustration of where the money goes, not a ring-fenced budget. Every gift supports the exhibition programme as a whole.
A different amount, or by bank
Transfer to Stichting The Bloys, NL68 KNAB 0501 4787 87, quoting “Gift — your name”. Send us a line at contact@madartfoundation.com and we will confirm your gift in writing — useful for your own records, and required if you ever want to claim it.
02Give every yearThe route we recommend
A periodic gift is a commitment for five years, laid down in a written agreement between you and the Foundation. It is the most valuable form of support a small foundation can receive, because it lets us plan a season before we know what it will earn.
Under Dutch tax law a periodic gift to a cultural ANBI is not subject to the threshold that applies to ordinary gifts, and is deductible in full. For anyone who intends to give more than once, it is simply the better instrument — for you and for us.
Since 2014 no notary is involved. A private agreement with a legally valid digital signature is enough; if you have a tax partner, they co-sign. It takes minutes, and it is the one piece of paperwork worth doing.
Cultural ANBI status is applied for and not yet granted. Until it is, gifts to MADART Foundation are not tax deductible. We would rather say that plainly than let you find out afterwards. The agreement can be signed now and takes effect the moment the status is granted.
03Friend of MADART Foundation
A yearly gift, and a way to stay close to what the Foundation is doing.
Friend of MADART Foundation is a gift, not a ticket. What you receive in return is deliberately kept to what a gift may carry: a written account of the season, your name in the annual report if you want it there, and the first word on what is coming. No free admission, no discounts, no priority — those turn a gift into a purchase, and a purchase is neither deductible nor ours to sell here.
04Organisations
Cultural partner
Brands and organisations can support the Foundation directly, as a gift without a return service. That is a different arrangement from a commercial partnership, and we keep the two apart on paper as well as in practice.
Commercial partnership
Events, brand programmes and anything with a return service run through Curated by MADART, the commercial organisation that structurally finances this Foundation. Those arrangements do not belong on this domain.
Funds and grant-makers
Our selection policy, governance, board composition and reporting are published in full, including how we handle the founder's interest in the commercial organisation.
How we select, how the board is composed, how the founder-curator's interest is declared and how the money is accounted for is set out in full on our governance page.
