Value proposition

Supporting culture worldwide. Join our community and contribute to a world where culture is a basic need.

The Prince Claus Fund believes that culture is a basic need. We enable artists and cultural practitioners to work freely & without restrictions creating culture that inspires positive social change, leading to a future that is equitable, inclusive, peaceful, and environmentally sustainable.


The Fund was established as a tribute to HRH Prince Claus's dedication to culture and development more than 25 ago. Now, we are a forerunner in the unrestricted funding field, fostering meaningful connections within a worldwide community of creative changemakers.

Through our Awards, we amplify young & emerging talent, accelerate future leaders and recognise change makers where cultural expression is under pressure.

Join us in moving forward. Contribute to a world where culture is a basic need.
