SupportSupport renovation Fokker-organWith joy the Huygens-Fokker Foundation learned recently that the SNS REAAL Fonds has decided to support the extensive renovation of the Fokker-organ financially. By making a substantial contribution they have made our project possible. Because of this the Huygens-Fokker Foundation is very grateful to the SNS REAAL Fonds by having faith in our project and our foundation.
The foundation is also very pleased to hear that the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds will contibute substantially to our renovationproject of the Fokker-organ. In a letter the board of the fund let us know to find the renovation from such an importance, that they decided to give us more financial support than the directives usually allow. The Huygens-Fokker Foundation is most grateful to the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds after their recognition of the cultural importance of our project. Support Huygens-Fokker FoundationSince the sixties the Huygens-Fokker Foundation is financially supported bij the
state government. From 2005 to 2007 Huygens-Fokker Foundation received a four year subsidy
of the Ministry of Culture (OCW), which was continued in 2008 by the Nederlands Fonds voor Podiumkunsten+ (NFPK+).

and midificated because of a small contribution by the Olga Heldring Foundation (Fundatie Van den Santheuvel, Sobbe). This modernisation of the 'mute' study-keyboard is of great importance, because of the the fact that the organplayer can practise (with sound!) on this copy of the 31-tone keyboard on any location he wants, whereby
the Huygens-Fokker Foundation will be less
dependent
of the
availability
of the BAM Hall, where the original 31-tone keyboard will have its place.
