The ANBI status, introduced by the Dutch Tax Authorities, allows donors to benefit from tax advantages on donations and signifies a professional and reliable organisation.
Since January 1, 2014, non-profit organisations must publish required information online to maintain ANBI status. Rewilding Academy Nederland has held this status since January 2023, meaning we are exempt from taxes on inheritances and donations, ensuring all contributions fully support our work. Donors can also deduct their gifts from income tax within applicable rules.
