At least five years
You give for five years or more in a row. The gift ends at the latest when you pass away.
Periodic giving
Give for five years, deduct all of it
Room for Change is an ANBI, a charity recognised by the Dutch tax authority. Record your donation as a periodic gift and you may deduct the whole amount from your taxable income. Your support costs you less, and we know what we can build on for years ahead.
The conditions
Four agreements, that is all
A fixed amount
You give the same amount every year, at least once a year. Paying monthly is fine too.
Set down in writing
You record the gift in a written agreement with Room for Change. You do not need a notary.
To an ANBI
Room for Change holds ANBI status, which is what makes the deduction possible.
Why a periodic gift goes further
An ordinary gift only becomes deductible above a threshold, and up to a cap. A periodic gift has neither. The full amount counts in your Dutch income tax return, every year the agreement runs.
How to set it up
Use the form to tell us the amount you want to give and how often. We help you with the agreement, which you and Room for Change both sign. After that you transfer the amount as agreed and include the gift in your tax return each year.

Questions about periodic giving
Do I need a notary?
No. A written agreement between you and Room for Change is enough. The Dutch tax authority (Belastingdienst) publishes a model form for it, the Overeenkomst periodieke gift in geld.
Can I stop before the five years are up?
The gift runs for at least five years. In the agreement you can include that it ends earlier if you become unable to work or lose your job. It always ends when you pass away.
Can I pay monthly?
Yes. The yearly amount is fixed, and how often you transfer it is something we agree on together.
Who can I ask about my tax return?
The Belastingtelefoon, the tax authority helpline, on 0800 0543. For the agreement itself, we are happy to help.
