Funding and Partners

The Board of the Prince Claus Fund has allocated CER €100,000 per year for a period that lasts until the end of 2011. To provide support for a higher number of cultural emergencies than would otherwise be possible, the Fund raises additional resources for CER by approaching governments, non-governmental organisations, companies and individuals.

CER is partly funded by the Dutch Postcode Lottery.

This year, the Dutch Postcode Lottery is supporting the CER program with an additional sum of €200,000 from its annual 13th draw. This donation will make it possible for the Prince Claus Fund to implement an increased number of cultural emergency relief actions over the coming five years. Since 2001, the Prince Claus Fund has been included as one of the Dutch Postcode Lottery’s 53 good causes. www.postcodeloterij.nl
