DonationWatchPolitical party donations tracker for Netherlands
What is this?
Party donations are an important part of politics. They are an important indicator of political support. We try to present this data clearly and comprehensibly.
The information presented here is sourced from the Government of the Netherlands and includes all political donations recorded since 2022 that exceed €1,000, as reported in the annual “Overzicht van giften aan politieke partijen en hun neveninstellingen”.
For the current year, only donations exceeding €10,000 are included, based on the “Overzicht substantiële giften aan politieke partijen” dataset.
Please note: Some donations lack specific date information and therefore are not included in time-series or other date-based visualizations.
Donations reported for SP and GL may appear relatively high because both parties require their MPs and administrators to contribute a substantial portion of their salaries to the party.
