General donations to the Maitreya Institute

General

The Maitreya Institute has the ANBI status. This means that all donations to the Maitreya Institute can be entered as income tax deductions under certain conditions.

These conditions can differ individually (for example, one’s income); the tax authorities can provide information about this.

If you make use of the opportunity to commit to a donation for at least 5 years then the entire amount is deductible. It is necessary to sign a doantion agreement and to issue an authorization for collection. We are happy to help you with more information and advice. Contact us 

Donate in kind

Sometimes it's just nice to be able to make a very direct and practical contribution, maybe with things that you 'have something to do with' yourself. We are happy with these kind gifts and have a list of articles that would help us a lot!

Special funds

In addition to a fixed donation, a donation in services or goods or volunteering, there are other ways to support the Maitreya Institute and the FPMT. There are several funds that support various activities or people: there may be a fund that appeals to you.

Funds Maitreya Institute

• The Maitreya Geshefonds: this fund is intended to help cover the costs involved in housing and maintenance of the permanent teacher/teachers of the Maitreya Institute. Because  Buddhist teachings are always free, these costs are never included when mentioning the suggested donation for a course;
• The Maitreya Sangha Fund: this fund is intended for all nuns and monks who do work for the Maitreya Institute;
• The Maitreya Study Fund for less well-off students: this fund is intended for keeping the dharma lessons accessible to everyone, including people with a limited income;
  • Study fund Amsterdam
     
  • Study fund Loenen
     
• The Maitreya Stupa Fund: this fund is intended for the construction of a large stupa in Loenen. For the moment we received enough donations. For more information, see the heading "news".
