For grant year 2025, Amsterdam awarded over 1.6 billion euros

Amount awarded per grant year, in millions of euros. 2025 stands out because of multi-year awards: the 2025 – 2028 Arts Plan and the Social Base are booked entirely in that one year.

What can you do with it?3 ideas

Getting started

How much does an organisation get?

Search by name and total what was awarded per year. Compare with what was requested.

Getting started

Where does the money go?

Group by policy area or scheme. Divide multi-year grants by their term first.

Advanced

Spotting anomalies

Find organisations whose grants grew fast, or where the settled amount is much lower than awarded.

How to process it4 steps

Download everything
The register is a few tens of thousands of rows: one CSV or a few API pages.
```
https://api.data.amsterdam.nl/v1/subsidies/v1/openbaar_subsidieregister/?_format=csv
```
Normalise names
Lowercase, remove 'Stichting' and punctuation. Check doubtful cases by hand.
Spread multi-year amounts
Recognise multi-year schemes by name ('2025-2028', 'meerjarig') and spread the amount over the years.
Awarded, settled or both
Use awarded for recent years and settled for completed ones. Always state which.

What to watch out for

Multi-year grants sit in one year
A four-year grant counts in its first grant year. Divide by the term when comparing years.
Awarded is not the same as paid
The settled amount comes only afterwards and is often lower. For recent years it is still missing.
No company number
You link on name, and names are spelled inconsistently ('Stichting X', 'St. X'). Verify in the business register.
The current year is incomplete
Grants for 2026 and 2027 are still being awarded. Those bars are shown lighter.
