Subsidy
Anyone from the community who wants to organise activities during Pride Amsterdam can apply for support until March 1st 2025. Just like last year, facilities and budget are available to support new and existing initiatives. A condition is that an initiative contributes to the emancipation, visibility and/or empowerment of the Pride community. In addition, the visibility fund is also open to participants in the Canal Parade on Saturday 2 August 2025. With these two funds, the strongest shoulders carry the heaviest burden and new and existing initiatives from across the Pride community can count on support.
Empowerment Fund
APPLICATION PERIOD: FEBRUARY 1 – MARCH 1, 2025
Pride Amsterdam will take place from July 26th to August 3rd 2025. We have €75,000 and spaces available in one of our Pride Hubs for third-party activities that contribute to our emancipation and/or empowerment. Rooms include light, sound and audiovisual equipment and have a capacity of 20-200 people. Organizations wishing to be considered for a space and/or contribution are invited to apply. The application must be received before March 1st and may not exceed 50% off the total costs with a maximum amount of €5,000. Rental of location, lighting, sound, and catering are not eligible for a subsidy. This has to do with the fact that we offer free spaces in The Pride Hubs where these facilities are already included. In specific cases where it is not possible to program in one of the Pride Hubs, an exception to that rule can be made.
Visibility Fund
APPLICATION PERIOD: FEBRUARY 10 – MARCH 16, 2025
On Saturday August 2nd, the 28th edition of the Canal Parade will take place. Although non-profit LGBTQIA+ organizations and private initiatives always pay only a fraction of the cost of participation, the total costs can add up quite quickly. This sometimes leaves little to no money left to decorate the boat in a beautiful way. In order to still be able to properly convey the substantive message to the public, an additional budget of €75,000 is made available by the participating corporates. With this, participants in the categories 3 / 4 (Rainbow Friends S en L) and 10 / 11 (Pride Rainbow Partner L en XL are able to apply for a financial contribution up to €5,000. The application must be received before March 16th and may not exceed 50% off the total costs for the decorations.
