The Fair Pop Fund was launched during ESNS!
A significant milestone on the path toward Fair Pay for pop acts. This fund originated from the fairPACCT Pop Musicians chain table. Read more below about the fund and its objectives.
The goal of the Fair Pop Fund is to raise resources and distribute them to pop acts as a supplement to their performance fee to achieve Fair Pay. In doing so, it bridges the gap between musicians and pop venues to make Fair Pay possible.
Thanks in part to the Performing Arts Fund NL, over €2 million is already available for a four-year period. Additionally, the fund is actively recruiting public and private resources. Interested in contributing? Please contact the board (or send us a message).
The fund is an independent, non-profit foundation with a board consisting of:
Rita Zipora, on behalf of BAM! Popauteurs
Jolanda Beyer, on behalf of the Association of Dutch Pop Venues and Festivals
Will Maas, on behalf of Kunstenbond/Ntb
Martijn Munk, on behalf of MMF (Music Managers Forum)
Peter Kwint, chair (announced during ESNS, former member of the House of Representatives)
From May 1, 2026, the Fair Pop Fund will present itself online; the application desk will open on July 1, 2026, with retroactive effect. Please monitor the channels of the involved parties for up-to-date information.
