What are the Giving Circles?

Culture lovers who have a warm heart for ballet can support Dutch National Ballet by joining the Geefkringen. You then agree to donate an amount of at least € 1,000 annually for at least five years. Thanks to a tax benefit, you can get up to about half of your donation back from the tax authorities and you become a member of a Geefkring (net) for less than € 30 per month.

Gift circle members make a significant contribution to Dutch National Ballet. As a thank you, we like to involve you as a member of the Giving Circle very close to our company and our dancers.

"Ballet is an unimaginable combination of top sport and art, it is clever and beautiful. The National Ballet could use a little push. It is unique that such a small country has such a grand ballet that is among the best in the world."

- Otto & Marieke Waterlander

"Besides the great performances, I enjoy the convenience of ordering the best seats in the theater. By using the special ticket service for Giving Circle members. It is no longer possible to order too late and miss tickets, wonderful!"

- Frederik Redelé

"For us, watching ballet is the ultimate way of relaxation. Every time we are impressed by the level of Dutch National Ballet. If you look at the time and energy that the dancers give, I think it is important to contribute as well."
