Prince Claus Fund
International NGO from the Netherlands
The Prince Claus Fund works toward a world of inclusive societies in which culture thrives. To this end, our mission is to support, connect, and share the stories of visionaries at the forefront of culture and cultural protection. We believe in the intrinsic value & transformative power of culture. The Prince Claus Fund was established on 6 September 1996 as a tribute to HRH Prince Claus's dedication to culture and development. We operate primarily in Latin America, Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe and the Caribbean. For more than 20 years the Prince Claus Fund has created opportunities for connection and exchange and stimulated cultural expression that challenges a dominant, exclusive discourse. We support innovative, high-quality cultural initiatives, especially where opportunities are limited, whether by poverty, conflict, marginalization or political repression. We honour outstanding achievement by awarding visionaries at the frontline of culture and development.
