about ammodo
Ammodo is a foundation that stimulates the development of art, science and architecture. We believe expanding knowledge and developing new perspectives in these fields contribute to addressing contemporary challenges and moving society forward. We have developed three programmes that promote and support research and projects: Ammodo Art, Ammodo Science and Ammodo Architecture. Below, on this website and the programme websites you can find more information about these programmes.
Ammodo is a foundation under Dutch law (Stichting).
Ammodo is recognised by the tax authorities as a Public Benefit Organisation (ANBI). More information on the ANBI status can be found here.
Financial information about Ammodo can be found in our ANBI form.
Ammodo was established on 3 September 2010 and has supported numerous arts, science and architecture projects since then. An archive of these projects can be found on the websites of Ammodo Art, Ammodo Science and Ammodo Architecture. Ammodo also produces documentaries (Ammodo Docs) to make the work of the artists, scientist and architects visible.
ammodo art
Ammodo Art is a programme developed by Ammodo that promotes and supports the development of internationally distinctive visual arts and performing arts.
Ammodo supports projects only in collaboration with its partners. It is not possible to submit unsolicited proposals.
Ammodo Art focusses on experimental, high-quality productions and development programmes, working in close collaboration with partners in the art world. This support offers art institutions and artists the opportunity to create new work, thereby contributing to the development of the artists and the quality of the institutions involved.
Art projects are awarded throughout the year.
You can find examples of the projects that Ammodo Art supports on the Ammodo Art website.
funding
Ammodo receives its financial resources through donations from the Inphykem Foundation. Inphykem acquired its assets through the sale of a pension insurance company.
Through donations Inphykem makes our support of art, science and architecture possible.
Stichting Inphykem is the new name for Stichting Optas. Optas is still used as a trade name by Aegon/ASR for the insurance company and is unrelated to Stichting Inphykem.
The donation from Inphykem is determined annually. This amount varies from year to year.
Inphykem's goal is to manage its assets and to make donations. Through these donations Inphykem makes Ammodo’s support of art, science and architecture possible.
After the sale of Optas N.V. to Aegon N.V. in 2007, the insured parties believed they were also entitled to the proceeds of the sale in addition to the insurance claims. Despite the fact that there was no legal basis for this, as a final solution to this dispute Inphykem made a one-off financial contribution of 500 million euros for an additional increase in the pension entitlements of the Optas insured. This solution was widely supported by the insured parties and social partners. They publicly expressed their respect and appreciation for the careful and balanced manner in which the arrangement has taken into account the interest of those directly involved. With this amicable settlement, the dispute between Inphykem and the insured has been closed.
Inphykem is the rightful owner of the assets from which Ammodo obtains its financial resources.
