Foam Fund
Hold a share in Foam's success. Foam Fund is a dynamic and enterprising group of private individuals and businesses that make the museum's talent development and education projects possible.
By taking a share* in Foam's success, you will support an enterprising museum and become part of an involved group of people. In return for their investment, Foam 'shareholders' also receive unique 'returns-on-investment' prints from photographers connected to Foam.
Foam Fund is for anyone who believes in the multifaceted role of Foam and wants to contribute. Participating in Foam Fund is essentially a gift, and to show our appreciation, you will receive 'shares in Foam's successes'. A share costs at least €3000 and comes with a commitment of two or three years. Private individuals can benefit from the Geefwet (gift law), which grants them the fiscally advantageous option to make an annual donation of €1750 over a period of five years.

Tax benefits
The Tax Administration has designated Foam as cultural ANBI, a public benefit organisation. It is possible to sum several donations to different ANBIs in one calendar year. A copy of the bank statement will serve as proof of donation for the tax authorities. Private individuals have an additional advantageous tax option via the Geefwet (Gift Law) to deduct 125% of their donation to cultural ANBIs from their income tax.
