Organisation

The Françoise van den Bosch is a private initiative made possible by donations from the Van den Bosch family and other private benefactors and funding sources.

The board members carry out their duties for the Foundation on a voluntary basis. They represent the world of jewellery in the broadest possible sense. The Foundation's board convenes six times a year on average.

The Foundation's initiators were Liesbeth Crommelin, Jerven Ober, Annelies van der Schatte Olivier and Count van den Bosch.

Capital has been built up with donations from private supporters and from Count van den Bosch and this money has been soundly invested. Count van den Bosch warmly supported the Foundation and was a generous benefactor. Since his death, the Foundation is especially indebted to the warm interest and donations from the sister of Françoise, Thea Verspyck Mijnssen – Van den Bosch. The activities of the Foundation are funded from capital revenue and from donations from friends and sponsors.

The archive of the Françoise van den Bosch Foundation for the 1980 – 1995 period has been handed over to the RKD (Netherlands Institute for Art History) in The Hague.
