ANBI

From 1 January 2008 Discovery Museum has been registered with the national tax authorities as an Institution for Public Advancement (Du. ANBI). An institution can only qualify for ANBI status when at least 90% of its activities are aimed at public advancement. In 2012 the Discovery Museum Foundation acquired the status as a cultural ANBI. In order to qualify for the cultural ANBI status at least 90% of an institution’s activities must be of a cultural nature. Since 2012 those who support ANBI institutions have enjoyed additional advantages as their gifts are tax deductible.

We publish the required data below as they apply in accordance with the new conditions for ANBI institutions as from 1 January 2014:
