AGORA NOW NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT
Photo: Manuel Casanova
We are an independent, start-up project with no structural funding, dependent entirely on individual donors and organisations who believe in our idea and share our bold vision. We owe every step of our early success to the fierce loyalty and belief of a small group of friends and funders who stood by us during our Pioneer Phase when it mattered most.
Now in 2025 as we look ahead, we’re anchoring what we’ve accomplished so far and establishing strong foundations for future impact.
Please join us. Every gift of any amount — small or large — makes a difference.

Our Foundation is a Culturele ANBI and individuals can receive a tax-deduction under the Culturele Geefwet. We are able to receive donations under the Gift Aid provisions in the UK and from other countries by arrangement.
FOUNDATIONS & PARTNER GIVING
We have been generously supported by Charitable Trusts and Foundations in the Netherlands, UK and wider Europe since we started. We could not have achieved what we’ve achieved in our early years without their generosity and belief.
Our growing reputation as an independent, international initiative makes us a valuable partner—offering fresh perspectives, knowledge, and insights that can be exchanged across diverse local and global contexts. If you are interested to discuss how you can support our innovative hubs and future impact please be in touch: naomi@espacoagora.space
Oversight over Agora Now is executed by Stichting Passaros, a Dutch Culturele ANBI foundation. The foundation has its registered seat and principal place of business at Sint Jacobsstraat 13, 1012 NC Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The Foundation has an ANBI status, and recognition as a public benefit organisation with the Dutch Tax Authorities.
