VAT
Amounts must be stated exclusive of VAT. Contributions from the Mondriaan Fund are awarded exclusive of VAT, unless the applicant is not subject to VAT. Please attach the proof from the tax authorities showing that you are not subject to VAT.
The Mondriaan Fund will ask for a clear and itemised overview of the variable project costs:
- The total costs must equal the total financial coverage, including the contribution from the Mondriaan Fund. The budget must therefore be balanced.
- Crucial items should be supported by quotations as much as possible.
- The total budget is at least €5,000.
- The maximum contribution from the Mondriaan Fund is 95%.
Costs
The budget should contain only variable project costs and therefore not fixed expenses of your organisation, such as private staff, management expenses and other fixed costs.
Possible cost items include:
1. Direct staff costs and fees related to the requested project

2. Direct office costs

- office costs
- administration costs

- equipment inseparable from the work to be created
- depreciation (33% annualised) or rental of specific equipment to display the work
