Structural grant from the Performing Arts Fund (FPK)
The Performing Arts Fund (FPK) promotes the diversity of medium and smaller sized theatre and focuses on flow, dynamism and innovation. 60 theatre companies and 23 music theatre companies have a multi-annual project subsidy from 2021 to 2024. On the FPK website you will find a list of companies and the amounts granted.
Structural subsidies from local authorities
Provinces and city councils give structural subsidy as well. A few well known companies receive structural subsidy from a (big) city council. In Amsterdam the Amsterdamse Kunstraad advised on the Kunstenplan. In Rotterdam the Rotterdamse Raad voor Kunst en Cultuur advised on subsidies in their Cultuurplan. In Utrecht it was the Advies Commissie Cultuurnota.
