Individual donors who believe in the idea and can support the project financially are vital allies in our bold vision. You become part of a group of people across the world who discover new artistic voices in the independent scene locally and globally and ignite an innovative new model that will support the development of work by many of the most imaginative artists working today and bring it closer to communities.
Every contribution will be personally acknowledged. For gifts of €1.000 or more you will become a founding friend with other benefits including online and live events to meet our artists.

Or please contact us if you prefer to make a bank transfer or are a UK donor and wish to make a tax effective contribution with our UK partner.
Making your gift tax-effectively
espaço agora now is a project of Stichting Passaros, a Dutch Foundation with an ANBI status: formal recognition by the Dutch tax authorities as a Public Benefit Organisation.
Netherlands donors: can receive a tax-deduction under the Culturele Geefwet for one off (eenmalig) or multi-year (meerjarig) gifts. You can calculate the possible tax benefit here.
EU donors: where there are fiscal regulations to allow tax efficient giving in your country, you can also gain a tax-deduction. We can provide information to support this.
UK donors: The Richard Thomas Foundation (UK charity number 1136375) can receive donations from individuals based in the UK under the gift aid provisions. All gifts are held as a restricted fund, specifically for the development of espaço agora now.
Donors in other locations: If you are in another location including the US (our ANBI status is the same as a 501 (3) c), let us know and we can discuss how to make a gift in a tax effective way.
If you would be interested to make a more significant contribution and fund a specific aspect of the project’s next phase (for example to cover the costs of a laboratory or publication), or know about opportunities to support the project long term please reach out to our founder Naomi for a conversation — she would love to hear from you.
