“We have felt very connected to Nederlands Dans Theater since 2003. At first, we were Friends of NDT for years, and then we became participants of the Fund, which is now called the NDT Patron Circle. It pleases us greatly that our contribution helps NDT and the dancers to pursue their dreams. We enjoy being able to take a look behind the scenes from time to time and to be kept informed of NDT’s developments. And, most importantly, we feel we are part of a club of friends formed by NDT’s dancers and other staff, and our fellow supporters!”

Anky Schmale and Marcel Tielemans, loyal supporters of NDT

Named Fund

How does a Named Fund work?

A Named Fund can be set up during one’s lifetime or in a will. The purpose and name of the fund are determined in consultation. In doing so, we assess whether the funds can continue to be used as intended in the future.

What is the minimum amount required to set up a Named Fund?

A Named Fund can be established with a contribution of €50,000 or more, either during your lifetime or in combination with a will. It is also possible to leave a contribution in full after your passing through a legacy gift.
