Explanatory notes on budgets for the Publication grant for publishers

• The total costs must equal the overall level of financial cover, including the contribution from the Mondriaan Fund.
• The maximum contribution from the Mondriaan Fund is 35% of the costs associated with the production of the publication that are eligible for the grant.

Costs
