Mission
Within .All brains are therefore focused on three domains: • SUNLY HERE The quality of our brain determines the quality of our life and our society. We want to know how to get the most out of our brains, where the threats are and how to prevent them. • HERE DISCLOSURES We want to contribute to the global efforts to prevent and cure brain diseases. By making our knowledge widely available and funding our share in research. • PATIENT CARE Brain patients must also be able to get the most out of themselves. We help to improve and make treatment methods more accessible and to ask attention to their needs and interests.
Binnen ‘Heel de hersenen’ richten we ons dus op drie domeinen: • GEZONDE HERSENEN De kwaliteit van onze hersenen bepaalt de kwaliteit van ons leven en onze samenleving. We willen weten hoe we het meeste uit onze hersenen kunnen halen, waar de bedreigingen zijn en hoe we die kunnen voorkómen. • HERSENAANDOENINGEN We willen bijdragen aan de wereldwijde inspanningen om hersenaandoeningen te voorkómen en genezen. Door onze kennis breed beschikbaar te stellen en ons aandeel op het gebied van onderzoek te financieren. • PATIËNTENZORG Ook hersenpatiënten moeten het maximale uit zichzelf kunnen halen. We helpen hierbij door behandelmethodes te verbeteren en toegankelijker te maken en aandacht voor hun behoeftes en belangen te vragen.

Among health charities registered in Netherlands: It allocates 73% of expenses to programs, below the peer average of 80%. Its annual revenue of €24M is well above the peer average of €11M.
Hersenstichting Nederland is registered in the Netherlands. Hersenstichting Nederland 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 Hersenstichting Nederland'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 006739398. 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.
You can donate to Hersenstichting Nederland directly through its donation page (https://www.hersenstichting.nl/doe-mee/steun-ons/grote-giften/). 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.
Hersenstichting Nederland carries the CBF-Erkend Goed Doel label - the Dutch quality seal awarded by the Centraal Bureau Fondsenwerving (CBF). To qualify, a charity passes a three-yearly independent audit covering governance (separation of board, oversight, and management), financial transparency (audited annual accounts, clear expense breakdown), effective use of donations, responsible fundraising practices, and a working complaints procedure. You can read the public 'CBF-paspoort' for Hersenstichting Nederland here: https://cbf.nl/organisaties/894. The passport shows the most recent audit outcome and the headline financial ratios.
As an ANBI, Hersenstichting Nederland 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.
