The Cultuurfonds was founded in London in 1940 by Prince Bernhard, the late father of Queen Beatrix, the present queen of the Netherlands. The fund’s original purpose was to buy war material for the British and Dutch governments. It continued after the war as Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds, aimed at rebuilding the war- torn cultural life in the Netherlands.

The foundation’s mission is to support both cultural and nature preservation projects in the Netherlands, the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. The Cultuurfonds’ emphasis is on artistic excellence and educational initiatives.

Director of the Fund is Adriana Esmeijer.
Liesbeth Blijenberg is responsible for press and publicity and can be contacted for questions.
