In memoriam

It is with deep sadness that we learned of the passing of Mr. Martijn van der Vorm. Mr. Van der Vorm is the founder of Stichting Droom en Daad and served as chairman of the foundation until 2025. With his entrepreneurial and creative spirit, leadership, and eye for detail, but also always considering the people behind the numbers, he laid the foundation for Stichting Droom en Daad. His DNA is deeply embedded in Droom en Daad and its various subsidiary foundations. We are grateful to Martijn for his tremendous dedication and inspiration. We will miss him greatly.

The Droom en Daad Foundation was founded in 2016. It is helping redefine Rotterdam for the 21st century - developing new kinds of arts and culture institutions and fostering new creative talent that reflects the city’s diversity, its spirit and its history.
