The University of the Underground is a charity (RSIN 8575.82.781) with a ANBI status based in Amsterdam. This means that at least 90% of our efforts are focused on the general good. You can read more about this charitable status here. We are committed to make all our finances public and we are transparent in this process. In December 2018, following our first annual return we will publish our books on our website. Our organizational structure and spending are visible to all. In doing so, we hope to inspire other educative institutions to do the same.

Our charity objectives are to end the ever growing gap between generations by reconnecting the generations through social dreaming, culture and education and to perform all such further acts and activities as are in the widest sense connected therewith, incidental thereto and/or which may be conducive thereto. The ever growing gap between generations is caused by their different viewpoint on how power structures should function within public institutions.

   –      guiding and supporting studying artists, performers and designers in order to develop, stimulate and continue the creative process in design, film, music, politics and theater;
   –      providing or have study programs in design, film, music, politics and theater been provided;
   –      financing, subsidize, support and guide organizations who provide study programs in design, film, music, politics and/or theater
     –      organizing inter alia concerts, symposia, workshops and performances;
     –      opening up of networks.

Without your donations, we can’t develop the University of the Underground. We aim to run live events, podcasts run by the students and member of the public, and masterclass-opened to all- but to do this we need your help.

Join us and support our attempt to modify the status quo through the development of experiential and creative practices in institutions.
