What is the purpose of the Doelen friends?
The goal is to provide financial support to the Doelen, so that we can continue to organize high-quality concerts and cultural events, support talented artists and offer educational programs to a wide audience.
What happens to my contribution?
The proceeds of the Doelen friends are spent on four different goals; education and participation, innovative programming, talent development and the building. Each of these goals contributes to our mission to make music and culture more accessible, vibrant and inspiring for everyone!
Can I choose where my contribution goes?
We have four donation goals that our friends' contributions benefit; innovative programming, education and participation, talent development and the building. When you register as a friend, you can indicate which goal you find most important. This is not binding, but we do take it into account. If you would like to support a specific goal or project, please contact Bobby van Langeveld via steun@dedoelen.nl, or call 06 45 54 69 66.
Will I be thanked for my contribution?
Of course! We would like to thank our friends for their contribution. With invitations to special events, behind-the-scenes tours, and of course a newsletter about everything we can do thanks to our friends.
Will I be kept informed about the impact of my contribution?
Certainly. We would be happy to tell you about the special projects we can do thanks to your contribution. We will keep you informed both via a newsletter and on our website.
What is the difference between a friend and a duo friend?
As a friend, you support the Doelen as an individual. If you would like to support the Doelen together with someone, you can do so as a duo friend. You then support the Doelen together and also enjoy the benefits for two people. We believe it is important that you can decide for yourself who you enter into this duo friendship with, so you do not have to live at the same address.
