English Reformed Church, Amsterdam

The Fundraising Plan

In addition to the generous grants, which are anticipated from both the Monumentenzorg and the Municipality, the fundraising campaign intends to raise the necessary funds in the following ways:

The Congregation and individual donors

Through personal donations, sponsored fund-raising events and sales of work, the congregation is aiming to raise ?150,000 from current and former members, people who have been married in the church and other interested individuals in the Netherlands and overseas. ?27,000 has already been pledged from these sources.

Tax-efficient ways for individual donations have been set up for Dutch, United Kingdom and United States tax payers. Details of these arrangements can be obtained from the campaign?s Treasurer, Paul Ogden. Please contact the Minister for details.

Charitable foundations and corporate donors

The foundation will be approaching a selected list of charitable foundations in The Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States with the aim of raising substantial sums.

In addition, the campaign will approach companies in The Netherlands and the United Kingdom to whom the Anglo?Dutch link and the importance of the English language are particularly relevant.

A total of ?350,000 is targeted from these sources.

Special events

The campaign is also considering holding a number of fundraising events, including a gala evening and a series of subscription concerts to be held in the church.

The fundraising campaign has been formally launched in April 2004. The campaign will extend its grateful thanks to individuals, foundations and companies for their donations and, where appropriate, donations will be recognised by inclusion on a commemorative plaque to be erected in the church.
