help us support you
and stay free from government and market
House of the Beloved exists thanks to the generosity and support of our friends and visitors. Living on donations is an ancient monastic tradition. It makes us independent from the government and the free market. This allows us to seek and embody what is true without compromise, and keeps our activities and the connections we forge as the goal, not as a means to an end. Thank you for your contributions. Even €5 makes a difference.

Want to support more?
OPTION 1: Monthly contribution as a co-tenant:
You pay a monthly amount (between €1 and €1500) to account IBAN BE55 7340 5023 9844, BIC/SWIFT: KREDBEBBXXX, STIJN SMEETS, Emile Bockstaellaan 22, 1020 Laken (Brussels). PayPal: (coming up).
Co-tenants can participate in all activities, residencies, and lectures at severely reduced rates. From a contribution of €50 onwards, you become a member of House of the Beloved non-profit and gain access to this bank account, which is exclusively used to pay the rent. (Why this is advantageous for us: contributions from co-tenants are not considered as our income. This keeps us below the €25,000 threshold and allows us, as a small non-profit, to offer our activities VAT-free, making them more affordable.)
