ANBI status: benefits

Thanks to our ANBI status, you as a private individual or company can benefit from tax advantages on your donations or sponsorship contributions. This allows you to donate more for the same net cost, or donate the same amount at a lower net cost to you.

 

1. Benefits for Private Donors

 

If you support us as a private individual (via income tax), you can choose from two types of gifts:

 

A. Regular (One-off) Gifts

 

One-off donations are deductible from your taxable income, but a threshold and a maximum apply:

• Threshold: You can only deduct your gift if the total amount of your regular gifts in a year exceeds 1% of your 'threshold income' (drempelinkomen), with a minimum of € 60.

• Maximum: The deductible amount is capped at 10% of your 'threshold income.'

​

B. Periodic Gifts: Maximum Advantage

​

With a periodic gift, you benefit from the maximum tax advantage. You commit your gift in a written agreement for a minimum of 5 years.

• Full Deduction: Periodic gifts are fully deductible from your taxable income, with no threshold and up to a high maximum amount.

• How to Arrange This? You can enter into a donation agreement (schenkingsovereenkomst) with us. This is simple and free of charge. Please contact us at info.growestafrica@gmail.com to request or arrange the agreement.

 

2. Benefits for Sponsors and Companies

 

Entrepreneurs and companies (via income tax or corporate tax) have different ways to support us with tax benefits:

 

A. Sponsorship or Business Expenses

 

If you sponsor us in exchange for a concrete counter-performance (such as name mention, advertising, or other promotional opportunities), this is viewed as business expenses (advertising costs).

• These costs are fully deductible from your profit.

• This also applies to donations in the form of, for example, working hours or materials supplied.

 

B. Donation Out of Generosity (Non-Business Gift)

 

If your contribution is purely out of generosity and there is no direct counter-performance, the rules for regular gifts apply:

• Income Tax (e.g., sole proprietorship, VOF): You can deduct the gift according to the rules for regular gifts (see Section 1A) and potentially benefit from the periodic gift arrangement (Section 1B).

• Corporate Tax (B.V., N.V.): Your gift to an ANBI is deductible from the profit within certain limits (50% of the profit with a maximum of € 100,000).

 

3. Benefit for Our Foundation

 

The ANBI status is also a direct benefit for us, which indirectly benefits our mission:

• No Gift and Inheritance Tax: We do not have to pay tax on the gifts, donations, or inheritances we receive from you. As a result, your entire contribution benefits our objectives.

 

Important Information:

 

• Our RSIN/Fiscal Number is 866945295. You need this number for your tax declaration.

• Check the Conditions: The exact amount and the most current rules for gift deductions depend on your personal situation and the applicable tax legislation.

• Consult an Expert: For personalized advice, we recommend contacting the Dutch Tax Authorities (Belastingdienst) or your tax advisor/accountant.
