Become a friend or donor of the Haagse Kunstkring:

As a friend or donor of the Haagse Kunstkring, you contribute to the preservation and promotion of art and culture in The Hague. In addition to your support, you will enjoy a variety of benefits, such as discounts on paid activities and access to exclusive events, including the monthly dining table and private association parties.

What is the giving law?

The Giving Act offers additional tax benefits for donations to cultural ANBIs (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instellingen). Thanks to the multiplier (multiplier) of 1.25, the amount of your gift is increased by 25% for the calculation of the deduction in your tax return.

Good news: The Haagse Kunstkring has Cultural ANBI status, so your gift is eligible for these benefits.

Who does the giving law apply to?

The Giving Act applies to all taxpayers in the Netherlands. How much benefit you get depends on:

• Your income.
• The amount of your gift.
• Whether it is a one-time gift or a periodic gift.

Support options

1. One-time gift
You can make a one-time gift and allocate it to a specific purpose, such as an exhibition, concert or literary activity.

• An endowment in one year.
• Subject to a threshold and ceiling:
  • Threshold: €60 or 1% of your aggregate income.
  • Ceiling: 10% of your aggregate income.

Example:
With a combined income of €50,000 and a gift of €1,000, it is increased to €1,250 (due to the multiplier).  The deduction is:

• €1,250 -/- threshold (€500, 1% of income) = €750.
• The gift remains under the ceiling of €6,250, so this amount is deductible.

Note: The 25% multiplier applies up to a maximum of €5,000 per year.

2. Become a FRIEND with an annual gift.

For an annual contribution starting at €150 per year, you receive the same benefits as an art-loving member. Would you like to stop the annual donation? Let us know before December 1 for the coming year.

3. Become a DONATEUR  with a multi-year gift.
Periodic Gift:

• Fixed annual contributions, minimum 5 years.
• Fully deductible (no threshold or ceiling).
• No notarization required, a written agreement is sufficient.
• Example:
  For example, you, donate €1,000 per year for 5 years. The giving law makes €1,250 deductible each year.   

Periodic gifts must be in writing.  This is a condition for taking advantage of this tax benefit. For example, the agreement can be prepared using a form from the Tax Office or through the HKK.

4. Include the Haagse Kunstkring in your estate.

This can be done in several ways:

Bequest: A bequest is a specific gift you leave, such as a sum of money or a work of art or real estate. You can specify in your will exactly what you want to leave to the Haagse Kunstkring.

Inheritance: You can name Haagse Kunstkring as (co-)heir in your will. This means we receive a percentage of your estate.

Named Fund: You can establish a named fund specifically for a particular purpose within Haagse Kunstkring, such as education or support for young artists.

Tax benefits

The Haagse Kunstkring is a cultural ANBI. This means that as a patron, under certain conditions, you can deduct your gift from income tax. However, dues for art-loving members are not deductible.
