Annual report of the Board and management
“Peace is one of humanity’s most precious needs, and our highest calling”
(General Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary)
“We grow the movement by growing its people”
(Philip Kpakiwa, MasterPeace Club leader of Guinea)
1.1 General
OUR VISION MasterPeace wants to inspire everyone to use his or her talent and energy for building peace and togetherness. This
will lead to a more sustainable world with less armed conflict.
INSPIRE EVERYONE Peace needs more active supporters; more people, organizations, media and companies to stand up and make the need for peace tangible and positive results visible. With our open and inviting activities we will inspire millions of people to create a new global movement of active participants, because peace building is a verb.
“I believe in MasterPeace. World leaders cannot push back armed conflict alone. We need the whole world to make this happen.” Desmond Tutu
TALENT AND ENERGY The world has seven billion inhabitants. We view them as seven billion sources of talent and energy. With global and local events, innovative campaigning, the International Day of Peace, our 2.0 platform, social media, local MasterPeace clubs and especially art, music and play we invite men and women from all continents and all cultural backgrounds to show leadership and use their talent and energy for building peace. Mahatma Gandhi: “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” PEACE BUILDING We acknowledge that there is always more than one truth. Being an impartial organization, we aim to bring together all sides to help end conflicts at the community, national and international level and to prevent future violence. That’s why we encourage dialogue, peace education, cultural understanding, disarmament and other non-violent solutions to armed conflict.
“There’s no way to peace. Peace is the way.” A.J. Muste TOGETHERNESS Whatever your identity, colour, religion or walk of life, we’re all united through music; in this case music can be seen as a metaphor for creation and positivity. We all need unity. We actually exist because of ‘the other’. This African ‘Ubuntu’ spirit is reflected in our logo and in all our activities. Also in the leadership of MasterPeace; within MasterPeace East and West equally co-create. INVOLVEMENT Social change requires the active participation of civil society in large numbers. Involvement in building peace is the best possible answer to indifference. People can learn, grow and inspire by doing. That’s why we often call Master-Peace the ‘Just do it’-campaign for peace.
Yehuda Bauer 1998 (professor on Holocaust studies: "I come from a people who gave the Ten Commandments to the world. Time has come to strengthen them by three additional ones, which we ought to adopt and commit ourselves to: thou shall not be a perpetrator; thou shall not be a victim; and thou shall never, but never, be a bystander."

MasterPeace works together with many partners and distinguishes founding partners, funding partners, collaborative
partners, business partners, media partners and friends.

1.3 Operations
1.3.1. MasterPeace activities in 2013
In 2013, MasterPeace focused on empowering its people, which included the MasterPeace teams, MasterPeace club
members, and MasterPeace fans, while successfully expanding MasterPeace into new continents and countries. If we
can summarize the past phase of MasterPeace journey, it would be: Growth and Empowerment.
We ended the last quarter of 2013 with the remarkable achievement of receiving an official U.N. Certificate of
Recognition “Innovation in Peace-building”, awarded to MasterPeace by the United Nations Correspondents
Association (UNCA), presented by U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki moon.
We could not have hoped for a better way to end 2013 than with Ban Ki Moon, Stevie Wonder and Michael Douglas
holding up MasterPeace flag and swaying to the ‘We Want Peace’ song by our ambassador Emmanuel Jal (a former
child soldier turned rapper). This would not have been possible without the dedication, hard work and support of
everyone, from our board to our founding partners, partners, teams, clubs, supporters and fans.
2013 was a year of many milestones. We challenged ourselves like never before, surpassing all expectations, which
resulted in us being one of the fastest growing movements in the world. Just few months earlier to the UN award,
the prestigious Rockefeller Foundation added both MasterPeace founders, Mohamed Helmy and Ilco Van der Linde
to its list of ‘Top100 of Next Centuries Innovators’. The year 2013 featured our best International Day of Peace to
date, in terms of content and outreach! MasterPeace organized 38 celebrations in 35 countries as MasterPeace Clubs
were able to increase their ‘directly impacted people’ by 215% compared to the year before.
MasterPeace Clubs gained momentum, ending the year of 2013 with 62 functioning clubs in 45 countries. Many of
these MasterPeace Clubs were started in the new focus region of ‘Balkan Areas’, such as Croatia, Macedonia, Kosovo,
Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina. In Yemen, Tunesia, Sudan and Kosovo young MasterPeacers started to gather
themselves into new MasterPeace Clubs, aiming to improve these conflict-stricken areas.
MasterPeace Club’s team empowered a new track of local “boot camps”, where MasterPeace Clubs organized an
intensive few days of workshops and meetings between these different clubs and nations that boosts the capacity of
the team, and works as a platform to discuss local, national and international expansion strategies. The initiative
echoed very well with the clubs, having 11 clubs (exceeding the initial plan of 8 clubs) conducted their local boot
camps, which were attended by around 600 young social leaders. MasterPeace gatherings took place in Armenia,
India, Nepal, Philippines, Morocco, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Russia, Uganda, Kenya, and Afghanistan.
All efforts were crowned by an unsurpassable 38 International Day of Peace celebrations in 37 countries: Gambia,
Kenya, Ghana, Senegal, Democratic Republic of Congo, Cameroun, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe, Zambia,
Tanzania, Guinea, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Nepal, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Yemen,
Morocco, Armenia, Russia, Croatia, Macedonia, Kosovo, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Iceland, Egypt, the
Netherlands, United Kingdom and the United States of America.

Scalability and content of the IDP 2013, was far better than any preceding year. MasterPeace clubs involved
thousands of volunteers (1035 team members and volunteers) in more than 85 initiatives (some clubs organized
multiple events this year), with uppermost media coverage, local and International, and an estimated outreach of
30+ million people globally.
MasterPeace launched a 2013-IDP competition, to recognize the great work and efforts invested by the clubs to
celebrate the IDP with a wide broad of categories to give chance for all celebrations and scales, “The Jury award”
(Russia, and Afghanistan on second place) “The People’s Choice Award” (Nepal) and the” Innovation Award” (India)
as a MasterPeace IDP 2013 Awards Winners!
For the second year in row, MasterPeace Central Office organized the International Boot Camp for MasterPeace
Country Coordinators. The main objective of 2013 boot camp was to evaluate the different challenges our clubs face
and create concrete action plans. Moreover, we wanted to discuss the “Club Manual” and role of the country
coordinator and its function in each country.
With constant improvements and close evaluation, our clubs are getting more and more effective, more clubs are
joining but most importantly: there are lots of well organized activities concerning the subject of peace. Each and
every one of these activities is locally fitted. There is a strong involvement of different layers of leadership per club,
more maturity in term of the focus on initiatives that tackle conflicts, bringing opponents together and getting more
attention from the local media.
Throughout the year, MasterPeace 2014 concert was the main goal and focus, with intensive preparations and major
transformation. The year started with deciding that the ongoing chaos in Cairo forced researching the possibility of
Istanbul as the new location for the seminar and concert, however half a year ago, the situation in Turkey changed
dramatically when millions of people started to demonstrate against their government, which resulted in large scale
violence in Istanbul and other areas in Turkey, causing tremendous negative PR for the country globally, and a society
(people, media and especially companies) in stress, while also putting our plans for organizing global scale concert in
hazard.
The focus remained on the proven strength of the concept: our DNA of being a 2.0 grassroots, bottom-up and
innovative platform for MasterPeacers who are trying to make a difference by raising their voice for peace. This is the
core of MasterPeace and our main focus, working together to create a series of connected events named
“MasterPeace in Concert” turning the world into our stage. We will bring opponents together in via music, art, sports
and dialogue and connect them all with our unifying event in Amsterdam: gathering artists from conflict zones all
over accompanied by the famous Dutch Metropole Orchestra at the world-class Ziggo Dome arena in Amsterdam.
We are working on MasterPeace Concerts on 21st
of September 2014 in around 50 countries, with bigger (flagship)
and smaller events, altogether hopefully involving around 500,000 people. All countries will mobilize as much local
media (Radio, TV, Newspaper and social media) as possible. All concerts aim to programme local ‘opponents’ fuelling
dialogue through music, outstanding concerts, speeches, performances and a special ‘Great Minds Meeting’ will
provide footage for an Internet broadcast.
2013 marked a remarkable year for MasterPeace communication, PR and social media. MasterPeace communication
efforts boomed with unparalleled campaigns, media outreach and buzz. The focus this year in addition to the huge
outreach was also on ensuring the consistency of MasterPeace messaging and branding globally.
One of 2013’s projects was the planning of one of MasterPeace’s major campaigns, My Music MasterPeace, a music
competition that invites all artists and bands to submit their peace songs to win being the opening act of
MasterPeace in Concert. After the three-month submission phase (Dec.-Feb), participants enter a stage of public
voting to select the Top 20 entrants, followed by a jury who will decide the Winner (mid-May).
Page 7
My Music MasterPeace received 220 entries of peace songs from 43+ countries around the world, more than 25,000
people voted on the MasterPeace website, increasing dramatically the traffic on our platform and adding more than
10,000 new users.
My Music MasterPeace teamed up with some of the biggest names in the music industry as partners, we have CMJ
(400+ US/Canada College radio stations), Mideast Tunes (largest music network in Middle East), Tribe of Noise (21K
composers, singers, songwriters from 170 countries), International Radio Festival (one of the largest radio festival in
Europe), and Radio and Music India (online music website in India).
With the help of MGC, My Music MasterPeace gathered some big names in music to be our jury and help selecting
the winner, artists and music connoisseurs like Downtown Julie Brown, Sirius Radio Host & iconic MTV VJ, Nusrat
Durrani, General Manager & SVP of MTV World; Robert Kraft, CEO of Kraftbox (fr. President of Fox Music), Anil
Wanvari, (founder of Music & Radio India and the Indian Telly Awards) and Karsu Dutch/Turkish singer and
songwriter are part of the MY Music MasterPeace Jury.
We have had milestones during this year, on social media we exceeded quarter million fans (266K fans on Facebook)
making MasterPeace the largest peace campaign on social media today, jumping from 9000K fans at the start of
2013.
On PR and media, we surpassed media outreach of 30 million during the International Day of Peace. In almost all
countries where MasterPeace celebrated the International Day of Peace in 2013, MasterPeace attracted media
attention; it was featured in more than 300 publications including Huffington Post, Reuters and Yahoo, among many
others.
MasterPeace platform grew exponentially in 2013, with an accessible user journey, the platform focused on building
attractive content and encouraging interactions between users (25,000 users). MasterPeace platform hosted two
major competitions (Clubs’ awards, and My Music MasterPeace) in addition to active peace building initiatives ( 500)
and an extended network of MasterPeace Blog Ambassadors ( 1100 blogger).
In the EU office there have been some organizational developments, which resulted in a more strategic focus on
innovation and business alignments,> Aart Bos, started as the Managing Director of the European Office Jan 2013. ,.
MasterPeace NL achieved a breakthrough in the Dutch brand recognition through “Music above fighting” campaign
that consists of a series of television and radio commercials, ads and billboards and a special television program
'MasterPeace: Music above Fighting', which in partnership with the Dutch company NewBeTV produced a top-quality
documentary featuring the journey of the famous Dutch artist VanVelzen from Holland to DR Congo to perform
together with the Congolese superstar Innocent B.
MasterPeace brought on board strategic forces, teams, and partners to maximize its impact. MasterPeace hired
MGC, a PR agency based in New York; which added tremendous value and presence of MasterPeace in USA, including
securing a strategic partnership with the Sunset Marquis, luxurious hotel in LA home-away from home for key music
industry people, where we launched MasterPeace USA in a special, with attendance of (250 guests) of top names in
the music industry, including Aerosmith’s legend Steven Tyler.
MasterPeace enforced its brand, with strategic presences and events. MasterPeace teamed up with CMJ to organize
this panel on music and social change during it's annual Marathon, the longest-running music industry event of its
kind, in addition to notable interview at MTV World’s ‘Rebel Music’ series with our CEO Mohamed Helmy on music
and social change.
MasterPeace also secured a unique ad spot at the UN directory of journalists and a must have for all UN staff.
MasterPeace will continue to work on a world with less armed conflicts by providing a platform for those who believe
in our core values. Music above Fighting, Dialogue above Judgement, Bread above Bombs and Creation above

Together.
1.4 Organisation

together with Deputy Director Daniëlle Willemse, whereas the overall MasterPeace project was led by the Managing
Director, Mohamed Helmy (from Egypt) and Creative Director Ilco van der Linde.
MasterPeace was able to grow the team in the Netherlands with focus in the core team on alignments with business,
Education and ICT experts. We are building and expanding “circles of expertise” with freelance experts, social
entrepreneurs and experts in companies who contribute their talents and competences without being paid. .
(http://masterpeace2014.nl/ons-netwerk)
In 2013 the MasterPeace project office in Cairo was financed by the MasterPeace foundation. This office is called
NextPUD and is led on a daily basis by Mohamed Helmy. In this capacity Mohamed Helmy is also the CEO of the total
MasterPeace project – Mohamed reports to the board of the MasterPeace Foundation. The team at the Cairo project
office consisted, at its peak, of nine other paid members of staff and an intern.
In 2013 the board consisted of former Business Woman of the Year Yolanda Eijgenstein (chair), former KPMG CEO
Wessel Ganzevoort, Middle East expert and former diplomat Petra Stienen, Heba Ramzy, Head of Corporate Affairs at
Microsoft, Gema Morena Vega, partner at Deloitte Mexico Consulting Division, Katherine Maher, consultant in
technology for international development and democratization, Craig Zelizer, associate director of the MA Conflict
Resolution within the department of Government at George Town University, Craig Bowman, leading social sector
futurist at Common Ground Consulting LLCTM
and Farid Tabarki, founder and director of Studio Zeitgeist.
In 2013 MasterPeace had 12 paid members of staff (8.5fte) as well as a group of 9 people working on the project
from Egypt.
MasterPeace complies with the Dutch General Accepted Accounting Principles, as well as the special governance
requirements for the ANBI status of foundations. Transparent reporting and governance are our guiding principles.
Until 2013 there were no specific Governance Codes that fit the Situation of MasterPeace, but in 2014 MasterPeace
will study the implications on its governance of the expected net “SBF Gedragscode” for Philanthropy organisations.

1.5 Operations 2013 and prognosis 2014
Result
The MasterPeace foundation realised a negative result of EUR 6.373 before appropriation.
Difference between budget and realization
In the board meeting of November 2012 the board agreed to an ideal budget and a basic budget. The ideal budget
was set at 1.692.000 revenue and 1.642.000 expenditure whilst the basic budget was set at 1.190.000 revenue and
1.164.000 expenditure. Throughout the year the management of MasterPeace worked with the basic budget.
Revenue
The difference between the planned revenue on the basic budget and the realised revenue is small.
MasterPeace acquired EUR 5.492 more revenue than was budgeted in the basic budget.
Expenditure
MasterPeace spent EUR 39.212 more than was budgeted in the basic budget. Compared to what was
budgeted, MasterPeace spent EUR 70.090 more on personnel costs and EUR 33.542 less on operational
costs. In general the organisation managed the funds well and was able to achieve the goals set with the
allocated budget.
Financial position
The current ratio of the MasterPeace foundation is expressed by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities.
The ratio expresses whether the foundation can meet its payment obligations on short notice without the
continuation of the foundation being in danger.
Current assets December 31, 2013: EUR 145.515
Current liabilities December 31, 2013: EUR 153.999
The current ratio on December 31, 2013 was 0,94
The MasterPeace foundation will and assesses that it can fully meet its payment obligations.
The year 2014 is an important year for MasterPeace.
1. The number of countries with MasterPeace presence will keep growing as well as the quality (measured in
impact and media reach). At this moment, June 2014, MasterPeace has a presence in 47 countries.
2. On The International Day of Peace, 21st
of September, our goal is to mobilise tens of thousands of active
peace builders. As a wave around the world, people will feel the energy of music at MasterPeace events in
more than 40 countries, with local artist, sometimes from conflicting sides, acting and singing together. In
Amsterdam, the “beating heart” of this unifying concept, International artists from conflict areas will
perform together with the Metropole Orchestra.
The financial impact of both ambitions is managed separately.The financial position for MasterPeace organisation will
be covered by structural funding:
Revenue from founding & funding partners is contracted through end 2015 and will be received.
Management has made an analysis of whether these partners will stay committed if the minimal scenario
needs to be realised and the outcome of this analysis is positive.
We very much welcome Cordaid as a new Founding Partner ; who will contribute the first year EUR 75.000.
We foresee more than 100 % coverage in 2015 based on present partner commitments.
Moreover MasterPeace is always flexible in the outflow of project costs and salary expenses.
Page 10
We expect additional income streams from social entrepreneurs and Shareholders 4Peace. The latter is a new type of
partnerships with socially engaged brands who pay EUR 25.000,- per year for brand alignment and a tailor-made
package of “peace dividend” which can e.g. exist of Master classes for young talents on leadership and dialogue. With
our founding partners and Shareholders4Peace we believe we can build an “ecosystem“ of value based companies
who can increase their business and meet like-minded people through our innovative network.
On the basis of the current analysis and action plans, board and management believe that the financial report could
be prepared on the basis of the going concern assumption
The events will be covered by sponsoring. Strong risk and cash flow management is in place. The management
decides bi-weekly on commitments towards opportunities. Events organisation requires secure cash flow planning
and priority management of commitments.
Page 11
1.6 Budget 2014
As 2014 is a “tipping Point” year in the growth of our movement, our target is to reach out to millions of viewers and
fans with concerts in more than 40 countries. The ambitious event In Ziggo Dome will be organised based on
available cash flow. We do thank the Ziggo Dome management for offering their location rental free.
The gap still to be managed is Euro 285.000,-; according to our governance we will implement various actions;
managing costs like FTE reduction
cancelling web broadcast
cash flow management
It is our intention to use the ticket sales (>100K) for building the movement and not for covering the cost of the
event.

Notes to the balance sheet and statement of revenue and expenditure
1. General
MasterPeace Foundation has its legal address in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with ‘Richtlijn 640 voor organisaties zonder winststreven’
(guideline for non-profit organisations).
The financial statements are denominated in euros.
1.1 Financial statement
1.1.1. Reporting period
These financial statements have been drawn up for the reporting year 2013. The year under review is calendar year

Unless stated otherwise, assets and liabilities are shown at nominal value.
An asset is disclosed in the balance sheet when it is probable that the expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. A liability is recognised in the balance sheet when it is expected to result in an outflow from the entity of resources embodying economic benefits and the amount of the obligation can be measured with sufficient reliability.
Income is recognised in the profit and loss account when an increase in future economic potential related to an increase in an asset or a decrease of a liability has arisen, the size of which can be measured reliably. Expenses are recognised when a decrease in the economic potential related to a decrease in an asset or an increase of a liability has arisen, the size of which can be measured with sufficient reliability.
If a transaction results in a transfer of future economic benefits and or when all risks relating to assets or liabilities transfer to a third party, the asset or liability is no longer included in the balance sheet. Assets and liabilities are not included in the balance sheet if economic benefits are not probable and/or cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
The revenue and expenses are allocated to the period to which they relate.
1.1.4 Use of estimates
The preparation of the financial statements requires the management to form opinions and to make estimates and assumptions that influence the application of principles and the reported values of assets and liabilities and of income and expenditure. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and the underlying assumptions are constantly assessed. Revisions of estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in future periods for which the revision has consequences.
1.1.5 Foreign currencies
Transactions denominated in foreign currencies during the reporting period are recognized in the annual accounts at
the exchange rate ruling at the transaction date.
Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at
the balance sheet date. Exchange differences resulting from settlement and translation are charged or credited to
the statement of revenue and expenditure.
Page 18
2. Principles of valuation of assets and liabilities
2.1 Financial instruments
Financial instruments include receivables, cash items, lease, creditors and other liabilities, accruals and deferred
income. Financial instruments are initially recognised at fair value and any directly attributable transactions costs are
included. After initial recognition, financial instruments are valued in the manner described below.
2.2 Tangible fixed assets
Fixed assets are stated at cost of acquisition, less accumulated depreciation.
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each item of the tangible fixed assets.
The following rates of depreciation are applied:
Other fixed assets: 25 - 50
2.3 Receivables
Receivables are recognized at nominal value, where necessary less provision for possible uncollectible accounts.
2.4 Cash at banks and in hand
Cash at banks and in hand are freely disposable funds.
2.5 Leasing
Tangible fixed assets, for which the company possess the economic ownership under a financial lease, are capitalized. The obligation arising from the financial lease contract is recognized as a liability. The interest included in the future lease installments is charged to the profit and loss account during the term of the finance lease contract.
2.6 Liabilities
Obligations to beneficiaries are recorded as a liability if and when the donation has effectively been notified to the
beneficiary.

3. Principles for determination of result
3.1 General
The result represents the difference between the value of the revenue generated and the costs and other charges for
the year.
3.2 Revenue from founding partners
MasterPeace involves founding partners for financial support to guarantee its development and continuation, and for
the purpose of co-creation. Founding partners actively support the development of MasterPeace with their network,
communications, personnel, expertise and other relevant experience. Revenue from founding partners are
recognized in the profit and loss in the same period to which the contract is relating.
3.3. Revenue from funding partners
Revenue from funding partners can relate to large donations and to project subsidies from governments.
Government grants are initially recognised in the balance sheet as deferred income when there is reasonable
assurance that they will be received and MasterPeace will comply with the conditions associated with the grant.
Grants that compensate MasterPeace for expenses incurred are recognized in the profit and loss on a systematic
basis in the same period in which the expenses are recognised.
Project subsidies are recorded as income in the statement of revenue and expenditure in the period in which the
related costs are recorded. Institutional subsidies are recorded in the period mentioned in the award letters of the
subsidizers.
Subsidies are recognised as income when all the conditions can be satisfied and it is probable that the subsidies will
be received.
Revenue from large donations is recorded in the annual accounts of MasterPeace since the foundation is the
beneficial entity regarding the donations.
3.4 Revenue from donations
Revenue from donations relates to one time donations up to an amount of EUR 15.000 and are recorded in the
annual accounts of MasterPeace since the foundation is the beneficial entity regarding the donations.
Donations are accounted for in the year when they are received, with exception of the donations received which can
be ascribed to a period in which a specific action is performed.
3.5 Revenue received in goods and services
Revenue received in goods and services have not been accounted for in the statement of revenue and expenditure.
The true value is difficult to estimate and has a value we could not have bought ourselves. We are very proud on our
business and media partner who contributed their talents and (media) outlets for free.
Page 20
3.6 Costs
Costs are recognized on the historical cost and are allocated to the reporting year to which they relate.
3.7 Personnel remuneration
Regular payments
Salaries, wages and social security costs are charged to the statement of revenue and expenditure when due, and in
accordance with employment contracts and obligations.
Pensions
MasterPeace has no pension schemes in operation.

10. Commitments not included in the balance sheet
There is one potential commitment not included in the balance sheet. Part of this commitment is included but the

is deemed small by legal experts. The board is confident that the amount to be settled on will be a symbolic amount.

Triodos Foundation was the first founding partner who committed to a long term involvement starting in 2010 with a
donation of EUR 50.000. From 2011 onward Triodos Foundation committed to a yearly donation of EUR 75.000 until
2015.
Pax (formally known as IKV Pax Christi) was the second founding partner who committed to long term involvement,
starting with a donation of EUR 50.000 in 2010 and a commitment from 2011 until 2015 of an intended amount of
EUR 75.000 per year, of which EUR 50.000 per year is guaranteed.
The Vrede van Utrecht was the third founding partner to come on board with a donation of EUR 50.000 in 2010 and a
commitment from 2011 until 2014 of EUR 75.000 per year. Due to financial limits it was agreed that the Vrede van
Utrecht would pay EUR 25.000 in 2012 and EUR 25.000 in 2013, after which the founding partnership was ended.
Corio N.V. joined in September 2011 and committed to a yearly donation of EUR 75.000 until and including the
year 2015.
The international consultancy company &samhoud joined in March 2011 and committed to a yearly donation of
EUR 75.000 until and including 2013.
In 2012 vfonds joined MasterPeace as sixth founding partner and agreed to principal donation of EUR 75.000 per
year, whereby the decision will be made yearly whether the founding partnership will be prolonged. For 2014 the
founding partnership has been prolonged. The vfonds is supported by the Dutch Postcode Lottery, BankGiro Lottery
and the Lotto.

evaluation and financial report of MasterPeace. The Board does not expect to need to pay back any funds since the
foundation has complied with the needs and demands of the subsidizers. The financial report to all five funding
partners have been approved.

Together with founding partner Pax, MasterPeace was successful in acquiring a multiyear grant (out of the ‘reguliere
bijdrage’) from the Dutch National Postcode Lottery of EUR 250.000 per organization per year, for the years 2012
through 2016.
With the financial cut backs of the Rutte II cabinet the necessity of private fundraisers like the Dutch National
Postcode Lottery increases. The contribution of the lottery and its participants is unique, not only because it is
multiyear, but also because the receiving charities decide themselves what they spend the money on, based on their
own expertise.
Page 27
The current cabinet has said that they want to modernize the policies regarding lotteries. We hope that the changes
suggested will leave the National Postcode Lottery enough space to continue its successful fundraising. Because
without the Dutch National Postcode Lottery and its participants we would miss the financial means to be able to
execute a large part of our goals.
15. Revenue received in goods and services
Many organizations and social entrepreneurs kindly offered their services to MasterPeace in kind or at a reduced
cost because they wanted to contribute to building MasterPeace. MasterPeace would like to thank the following for
their in kind contributions.

MasterPeace was able to reduce the costs for the 5th
of May to a minimum without losing impact. In 2013 less drastic
changes were needed on the MasterPeace.org, hence less money was spent on the website than the year before.
Because of the limited budget, new MasterPeace clubs received smaller seed grants than in 2012. In 2013 we were
assisted by a communication expert in the USA which cost less than the PR firms that assisted us in 2012. For the
education project in 2013 less out of pocket costs were made than in 2012. In contrast to 2012, MasterPeace did not
produce a viral film about the World Band in 2013. Project costs 21st
of September consist of preparatory costs for
the big concert in 2014. Evidently these costs were higher in 2013 than 2012.
Thanks to the generous offer of NewBeTV and Tuvalu to make a MasterPeace tv programme for the 21st
of
September at reduced cost, and vfonds for agreeing to fund this programme, MasterPeace was able to air a
documentary about MasterPeace in Congo on the 21st
of September on Veronica.

Explanation fee founder Masterpeace
According to the statutes of the Foundation board members nor founder are eligible to receive emoluments. The
founder however left the board and became creative director of the foundation in 2011, working full time for the
project. In this capacity he does receive a salary. The statutes will be changed in 2014 so that mentioned article only
relates to board members and not to the founder.
