The Donemus Foundation — Stichting Donemus Beheer — has launched its own website: stichting.donemus.nl. With this new platform, the Foundation now has a clear and independent online presence alongside Donemus Publishing.
Where Donemus Publishing focuses on the daily publishing activities — sales, rentals, licensing, promotion and worldwide distribution of scores — the Donemus Foundation safeguards the deeper mission behind the catalogue: preserving, managing and opening up a unique musical heritage for future generations.
Since 2013, Stichting Donemus Beheer has been the owner and guardian of more than 18,500 works by over 600 composers from the Netherlands and abroad. This catalogue represents a living archive of contemporary composed music: fully digital, internationally accessible and continuously enriched with new repertoire.
The new website makes this role more visible. Visitors can learn more about the history of Donemus, the Foundation’s public-benefit mission, its relationship with Donemus Publishing, and the importance of preserving the rights, source files and musical legacy of composers. The site also gives space to voices from the musical field: composers, musicians and supporters who underline the cultural value of Donemus and its catalogue.
A special part of the website is dedicated to support. As an ANBI foundation, Stichting Donemus Beheer can receive donations, gifts and legacies in a tax-beneficial way. Friends of Donemus — whether private music lovers, performers, ensembles, companies or cultural partners — can help the Foundation continue its work.
Support may contribute to the preservation of musical heritage, the digital accessibility of scores, the publication of important works, the development of new projects, and the long-term care for a catalogue that continues to inspire musicians and audiences worldwide.
With the launch of this separate website, the Donemus Foundation strengthens its own identity: not only as the rights holder behind a renowned publishing catalogue, but as a cultural guardian of contemporary music. It invites everyone who cares about the future of composed music to become involved, to discover the richness of the catalogue, and to help keep this musical heritage alive.
