In collaboration with numerous partners throughout the city, the city of Amsterdam is facilitating and financing the foundation of the jubilee year. The city is investing €27 million in the jubilee year. Additionally, arts and culture, sports and other sectors contribute significantly to making many initiatives possible. In addition to this, we call upon partners from businesses, funds and other organizations to (co-)sponsor activities for the city, through sponsorship and/or donation. Think, for example, of projects in sports, education, arts and culture, as well as activities like the Party on Ring A1o and the 750th anniversary itself.
