Frequenly asked questions

What is The Wormhole Cult exactly?

The Wormhole Cult is a non-profit foundation based in Amsterdam. We organize concerts that showcase underground trippy and edgy music – from mind-bending psych to post-punk and doom – in small, intimate venues. Our purpose is to keep the underground alive in a city that’s rapidly gentrifying and becoming more and more commercial.

Does The Wormhole Cult have an ANBI status?

Yes. We are officially recognized in the Netherlands as an Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling (ANBI). This means we are fully non-profit and committed to serving the public interest.

Why should I donate?
Your donation helps us create a platform for underground music and culture in Amsterdam. Every euro goes directly into organizing shows: booking artists, renting venues, and making sure these gatherings can exist outside of purely commercial pressures.
Are my donations tax-deductible?

Yes. Because The Wormhole Cult has ANBI status, donations are tax-deductible in the Netherlands. Depending on your personal situation, this means you may get a significant part of your donation back through your tax return.

Do I get something in return for my donation?

No. By law, an ANBI organization may not give goods, services, or benefits in exchange for donations. Your gift is purely a contribution to support underground culture. (Of course, you are always welcome to attend our concerts by buying a ticket separately.)

How will my donation be used?

All donations go directly toward organizing concerts and related cultural programming. We use funds to pay artists fairly, cover production and venue costs, and keep ticket prices accessible.

Can I make a recurring donation?

Yes. You can set up a periodic or recurring donation. If you commit to a donation for at least five years in writing, this may give you additional tax advantages under Dutch law.

How can I donate?

You can donate via bank transfer, and soon by clicking on the donate button above and / or arranging a periodic gift. If you’d like the details, please contact our chairman and treasurer Niels Vrijhoeven through niels(at)thewormholecult.com

Is there transparency about how donations are spent?

Yes. As a foundation with an ANBI status, we are legally required to publish our annual financial statements and policy plan. You can find these documents on this page below. 

Can I also support in other ways?

Absolutely. Beyond donations, you can support by spreading the word, volunteering at events, or simply showing up at our concerts and being part of the underground community.
