What is the difference between the different ‘packages’ of the structural donation?

The only difference is the amount. We are aware that financial capacity differs per person. This is why we ask people to choose the amount most suited to their individual financial situation. OOG has set its goal on raising significant funds for research into genetically hereditary eye diseases. Donations with a structural character are the best way to enable the continuation of eye disease research, necessary to achieve results. This is why we are asking for donations on a 5 year basis. An added advantage is that your gift is often eligible for 100% tax deduction. You can read more about this on the website of the Dutch Tax Board (Belastingdienst).
