The Bonnefanten Museum Fund

Together with our active partners, patrons and friends, we create connections and make Bonnefanten a welcoming meeting place for everyone with a passion for art. We use our funds to support talent development and education, and to present art and artists who may not yet be on the public radar but deserve a platform. The Bonnefanten Museum Fund is an independent source of income that enables us to finance additional initiatives and give Bonnefanten an extra boost.

We are incredibly proud of our Friends. They support us through thick and thin, as ambassadors and enthusiastic visitors.

For €50 per year, Friends receive free admission to the museum, as well as invitations to special lectures, activities and most exhibition openings. They also receive 10% discount in our Museum Shop.

Great Friends support us with €500 per year. As true VIPs, they receive a special welcome. They are invited to all exhibition openings, receive exhibition catalogues free of charge, and can count on us if they would like a private tour or want to organise something for a group.

Around 65% of Friends’ contributions are reserved in the ‘Friends Fund’, enabling the museum to make special acquisitions and carry out restorations.

Partners visit us for inspiration or to see how important the museum is to the region’s appeal as a place to live and work, and to their employees. After all, a visit to the museum gives you a fresh perspective on the world.

Partners enjoy privileges ranging from exclusive openings and private viewings to special receptions with renowned artists, museum directors and curators, as well as in-depth lectures, special presentations and more.

As we are an ANBI (Public Benefit Organisation), supporting the museum on a regular basis can also offer tax benefits. We are happy to tailor our partnerships to suit your organisation. Companies including Berden Wonen, Capra Advocaten, Centrum Art Handling, De Hypotheker, Ennatuurlijk, Erco Lighting, Eschgro, Intergarde, Ria Joosten Catering, SPIE, Tenhove Advocatuur, Oostwegel Collection and Vebego have supported Bonnefanten both financially and through their expertise and involvement.

Bonnefanten receives structural funding from the Province of Limburg, which accounts for approximately 65% of our funding. We also receive an annual contribution from the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (OCW) for activities beyond our regular programme. However, without the support of funds and organisations such as the VriendenLoterij, Fonds21, Mondriaan Fund, Ammodo, VandenEnde Foundation, Turing Foundation, VSB Fund, Cultuurfonds, Vereniging Rembrandt, Elisabeth Strouven, Bonhomme Tielens, Maastricht, Sittard-Geleen and Roermond, we would not be able to maintain the level for which Bonnefanten is known. So join us!

Bonnefanten is recognised as a registered charity and as an ANBI (Public Benefit Organisation). As a result, gifts, donations and bequests are exempt from gift and inheritance tax, ensuring that they can be used in full to support our shared art collections.
