Is my donation tax deductable in my income tax declaration?

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).

Stop blindness in children

In the world of gene - and stem cell therapy, there are hopeful medical developments, but there is a great need for funds to support research in these rare eye disease. Large pharmaceutical companies are generally not interested in funding this research.

By donating to OOG you can help in the fight against blindness in children.

You can help in 3 different ways :

Structurally in the way of a ‘package’

By entering into a 5 year contract with Amsterdam UMC Foundation, your donations are fully deductible for Dutch Tax, without a threshold deduction. The Amsterdam UMC Foundation will invoice and collect the donation yearly. The entire proceeds of the donations are used for eye research, without any deductions for non-research (e.g. administrative) costs.

Choose your ‘package’ to suit your own resources from the following :

2.500 Euro annually
1.000 Euro annually
500 Euro annually
