Get matched →The Individual Acquisitions Grant supports Dutch museums and other cultural heritage institutions in acquiring special items or partial collections in any field, ranging from contemporary art and crafts to ancient manuscripts and natural history collections. The acquired object must enrich the collection of the Netherlands Institute of Cultural Heritage and be displayed to the public permanently or semi-permanently.
The size of the Individual Acquisitions Grant is determined per application. The maximum grant awarded by the Mondriaan Fund is 40% of the estimated value of the acquisition. Grants exceeding €500,000 are rarely awarded.
Applications can be submitted through the Mondriaan Fund's online application system throughout the year. Applicants must allow for a total processing period of a maximum of three months from the moment the application is complete. Applications must be submitted well before the desired starting date. Grants cannot be awarded with retroactive effect.
Applications must include provenance research, in which the period around World War II must play an important part, if applicable. Applicants must provide insight into the processes involved in establishing the purchasing price and demonstrate the market value and acquisition justification.
