ANBI
Sounds for Freedom is a registered foundation with an ANBI status.
An ANBI is a Public Benefit Institution. An institution can only be an ANBI if it is almost entirely committed to the public interest. Under certain conditions, ANBIs are also eligible for exemption from inheritance and gift tax, transfer tax and energy tax reduction.
Sounds for Freedom does not pay inheritance tax or gift tax, so 100% of your contribution goes to our work and projects. We also think it is important that we show with the ANBI status that we are a pure and transparent organization. We carry out our activities in the public interest and have an honest and reliable board that monitors this.

Our mission is to help those who feel vulnerable. Our music projects focus on refugee children, teenagers and vulnerable children.
Music gives freedom in emotional ways to let go of inner blockages and therefore give space for personal growth. Music heals emotional wounds. It also inspires people to take steps that help them develop.
Music brings people together and forms communities. Any kind of music is like therapy for the soul.
Sounds for freedom develops the following activities, among others:
-
Music lessons and concerts at newcomer schools and asylum seekers' centers for refugee children to help them learn the Dutch language and provide a safe space for healing and growth.
-
Songwriting and development of educational materials for music lessons for refugee children and newcomers.
-
Concerts to connect different groups of people.
-
Writing songs and making short films/video clips that bring social themes to light and make them discussable.
In 2024, we will focus on the following projects:
-
Free as a Songbird: music lessons for refugee children and newcomers to learn the Dutch language and provide a safe place for healing and connecting with Dutch children.
-
Online learning environment: an online platform in which the method of Free as a Songbird is incorporated and which is accessible to all 500 newcomer classes in the Netherlands. The material consists of our songs with accompanying videos of sound and singing exercises and downloadable lesson plans for teachers.
