Mission
Het COC streeft naar een samenleving waarin iedereen, ongeacht zijn of haar sexuele voorkeur, zichzelf kan zijn. Een maatschappij waarin mannen en vrouwen met homosexuele gevoelens zich thuis voelen en gerespecteerd worden. Om dat te bevorderen organiseert het COC veel activiteiten om te zorgen dat aan je verlangens tegemoet kan worden gekomen, er een plek is waar ruimte is elkaar te ontmoeten, plezier te hebben, te praten of te swingen. Maar ook om voor je belangen op te komen en zo te bevorderen dat je precies dezelfde rechten hebt als mensen die een heterosexuele leefstijl hebben, dat je rechten op pensioen dezelfde zijn, dat je zelf kunt kiezen of je wilt trouwen, samenleven, kinderen wilt krijgen of adopteren, beschermt bent tegen discriminatie.

Coc Noord-Holland Noord is registered in the Netherlands. Coc Noord-Holland Noord has ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) status, so donations are tax-deductible. You can deduct gifts that exceed 1% of your threshold income (minimum 60 euros). Periodic gifts (committed for 5+ years) are fully deductible without threshold.
You can verify Coc Noord-Holland Noord's legal status in three ways. First, look up the RSIN directly on the Belastingdienst ANBI register: https://www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/nl/aftrek-en-kortingen/content/anbi-status-controleren and enter 812616066. The result page confirms whether the organisation currently holds ANBI status - a prerequisite for tax-deductible donations in the Netherlands. Second, search the Kamer van Koophandel public registry at https://www.kvk.nl/zoeken/ - the KvK record shows the legal form (Stichting / Vereniging / Coöperatie), registered address, board composition (where disclosed), and the date of incorporation. Third, every ANBI is legally required by the publicatieplicht to publish on its own website: the policy plan, financial statements, an overview of activities, board composition, and remuneration policy. A working ANBI page with current financials is the strongest signal of legitimacy beyond the registry. If all three sources agree on name, address and ANBI status, the organisation is legitimate.
Contact Coc Noord-Holland Noord directly for current donation methods. Dutch charities typically accept iDEAL (the standard Dutch online-banking payment method), Tikkie payment requests, Bancontact for cross-border donors, SEPA bank transfer to the organisation's IBAN (account numbers starting with NL), and online payment processors (Mollie, Stripe). Many larger Dutch charities use platforms like Geef.nl, GeefSamen, Kentaa, and Pifworld for online fundraising. International donors can give via SEPA (the Netherlands is in the eurozone, so intra-EU transfers are cheap), PayPal, or GlobalGiving. For donations to count as a 'periodieke gift' - fully tax-deductible without a threshold - a written agreement (overeenkomst periodieke gift) committing for at least five years is required. Always confirm the recipient's RSIN and ANBI status before sending funds intended for the tax deduction.
As an ANBI, Coc Noord-Holland Noord is legally required to publish the following information on its own website, free of charge and without a login (the 'publicatieplicht' obligation under Uitvoeringsregeling AWR 1994 art. 1a): the policy plan, an overview of the past year's activities, the financial statements (balance sheet, profit-and-loss, explanatory notes), board composition with names, and the remuneration policy for directors and key staff. Larger ANBIs (turnover above €50,000) must also publish a fuller financial report using the Belastingdienst's standard ANBI publication form. If you cannot find these documents on the organisation's website, that is a red flag worth raising with the board before donating.
