Partly thanks to a collaboration with the Empowerment Fund of the Pride Amsterdam Foundation, OUT Ensemble can host a Q***r and Now concert in Amsterdam during WorldPride!

The fund offers financial support to projects that contribute to the emancipation and inclusivity of the LGBTQIA+ community. The Empowerment Fund was set up to ensure that everyone within the LGBTQIA+ community has a voice and can contribute to Pride Amsterdam. It specifically focuses on initiatives that otherwise would not be able to take place. This further emphasizes and stimulates diversity within Pride.
