Ammodo is a foundation under Dutch law (Stichting).

Ammodo is recognised by the tax authorities as a Public Benefit Organisation (ANBI). More information on the ANBI status can be found here.

Financial information about Ammodo can be found in our ANBI form.

Ammodo was established on 3 September 2010 and has supported numerous arts, science and architecture projects since then. An archive of these projects can be found on the websites of Ammodo Art, Ammodo Science and Ammodo Architecture. Ammodo also produces documentaries (Ammodo Docs) to make the work of the artists, scientist and architects visible.

Ammodo Docs are forward-thinking films about artists, scientists and architects produced and curated by Ammodo.

Our short documentary films are available on our websites, on NPO 2 Extra, the Eye Film Player, our YouTube channel, and, as well as at (inter)national museums, institutions, and online platforms. Some have also been selected for various film festivals.

It is possible to screen our films. You can contact us at docs@ammodo.org stating ‘distribution request’.

Ammodo Docs selects its own subjects and creators. Are you a filmmaker (established or proven talent) interested in directing a documentary for Ammodo Docs? Please contact us at docs@ammodo.org and we will add you to our list. We will happily contact you if we see a good match with one of our future subjects.

Unfortunately not. We only produce the Ammodo Docs series. The production of other documentaries is not part of our mission.

Ammodo receives its financial resources through donations from the Inphykem Foundation. Inphykem acquired its assets through the sale of a pension insurance company.

Through donations Inphykem makes our support of art, science and architecture possible.

Stichting Inphykem is the new name for Stichting Optas. Optas is still used as a trade name by Aegon/ASR for the insurance company and is unrelated to Stichting Inphykem.

The donation from Inphykem is determined annually. This amount varies from year to year.

Inphykem’s goal is to manage its assets and to make donations. Through these donations Inphykem makes Ammodo’s support of art, science and architecture possible.

After the sale of Optas N.V. to Aegon N.V. in 2007, the insured parties believed they were also entitled to the proceeds of the sale in addition to the insurance claims. Despite the fact that there was no legal basis for this, as a final solution to this dispute Inphykem made a one-off financial contribution of 500 million euros for an additional increase in the pension entitlements of the Optas insured. This solution was widely supported by the insured parties and social partners. They publicly expressed their respect and appreciation for the careful and balanced manner in which the arrangement has taken into account the interest of those directly involved. With this amicable settlement, the dispute between Inphykem and the insured has been closed.

Inphykem is the rightful owner of the assets from which Ammodo obtains its financial resources.
