More ways to support the museum
The Corporate Circle is an international network that connects companies through the art of Vincent van Gogh and helps support museum activities for young and old.
There are several ways of financially supporting the Van Gogh Museum. You can support the museum during your lifetime, but also by including the museum in your will. You could choose to donate a sum of money to the museum, but another option is a donation in kind, such as a painting.
Fiscal Benefits Associated with Donations
The Dutch Tax and Customs Administration has designated the Van Gogh Museum as a cultural ANBI (Public Benefit Organisation). This means that you can deduct your donation from your Dutch income tax, with a multiplying factor, so that the deductible amount is higher than your actual donation. A multiplying factor of 25% applies to the first € 5,000 of your donation. If you donate e.g. € 1,000, your tax relief will apply to € 1,250. A threshold may be applied for certain types of donations.
The Van Gogh Museum is not required to pay gift tax on your donation. Every euro of your donation therefore directly benefits the museum, contributing to acquisitions, restorations and educational projects. Should you wish, you can indicate how you would like the museum to use your donation. Designated funds (Fonds op naam) can be established for donations of € 50,000 and above.
There are two ways of making donations:
- a periodic donation (at least five annual donations)
- a one-off donation
