The submission deadline for applications for the Grant for Dutch presentations abroad in the first round of 2024 is January 10th 2023. Our office is closed between December 25th 2023 and January 1st 2024. If you require a new My Fund account to submit your application, please request one here by December 20th 2023.
Who is eligible?
The grant can be applied for by a venue or festival based outside the Netherlands with a substantial international programme. Grants will not be provided if the first presentation takes place within 4 months after the deadline.
What type of performances can be applied for?
Parties can apply for support to programme performances or concerts by companies, ensembles or performers based in the Netherlands. It is also possible to submit an application for more than one performance by a single organisation or for multiple performances by more than one organisation.
Assessment criteria
All applications are assessed with reference to the following criteria:

  • The venue’s international standing;
  • The significance of the presentation for the organisation(s) to be presented;
  • The effects of the presentation on the prominence or visibility of Dutch performing arts abroad;
  • Contribution to Dutch International Cultural Policy.
What is the grant amount?
The grant amount is determined on the basis of travel and transport costs for the performance(s) or concert(s) concerned. An additional contribution towards the costs of fringe programming (e.g. workshops, masterclasses, lectures) can be awarded where applicable.

The inevitable costs of COVID tests with a view to international mobility are currently eligible for financial support. To be eligible, quotations for these costs need to be included with the application. You can use the upload option provided in the application form to submit quotations for travel, transport and visa costs.
