Leaving a legacy
Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ welcomes inheritances, for example as a purpose fund, a named fund, or a one-off donation. We gladly advise you on all aspects of this trajectory. Please contact Mirjam Dik (relationship management). Donations in this category receive the privileges of the highest category of Friends.
Tax advantages
The Muziekgebouw has the cultural ANBI status, which means that you can deduct a large part of your (one-off or recurrent) donation from your Dutch income tax. On www.anbigift.nl/muziekgebouw you will find a calculation tool to quickly see your tax advantage. In addition, the Muziekgebouw is completely exempt from Dutch inheritance tax, which means that a gift from an inheritance will fully benefit the objective.
