    Al meer dan veertig jaar is het Prins Hendrikplein in Den Haag jaarlijks het toneel voor het Zeeheldenfestival, een evenement vol muziek, straattheater, kinderactiviteiten en gezelligheid, georganiseerd vóór en dóór de inwoners van Den Haag. Vier dagen lang vieren we dat de stad Den Haag en het Zeeheldenkwartier in het bijzonder een fantastische plek is om te wonen, te werken en te leven. Het 44ste Zeeheldenfestival vindt plaats van woensdag 8 juli tot en met zaterdag 11 juli 2026. Dit gratis toegankelijke festival, al jaren op initiatief van vrijwilligers en ook uitgevoerd door een grote groep vrijwilligers (rond de 200), heeft een unieke positie verworven in Den Haag en daarbuiten.

Stichting Vrienden van het Zeeheldenfestival is a nonprofit organization based in 'S-GRAVENHAGE, Netherlands. Registration: 867672389. De Stichting Vrienden van het Zeeheldenfestival ondersteunt Stichting Zeeheldenfestival door duurzame financiële en niet-financiële steun, het werven van vrienden en partners, en het bevorderen van maatschappelijke betrokkenheid. Stichting Vrienden van het Zeeheldenfestival is classified as an arts & culture organization registered in Netherlands. The organization was founded in 2026.

Stichting Vrienden van het Zeeheldenfestival is registered in the Netherlands. Stichting Vrienden van het Zeeheldenfestival 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.

Stichting Vrienden van het Zeeheldenfestival is a Dutch foundation (stichting) - the most common legal form for charities and public-benefit organisations in the Netherlands. A stichting has no members, is governed by a board, and is established by notarial deed for a specific purpose. It is the only Dutch legal form that can hold ANBI (public-benefit) status without member oversight. There are about 250,000 stichtingen on file at the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK), of which roughly 50,000 hold ANBI status with the Belastingdienst. It is registered with the Kamer van Koophandel (KvK), the Dutch Chamber of Commerce, with RSIN 867672389.

You can verify Stichting Vrienden van het Zeeheldenfestival'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 867672389. 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 Stichting Vrienden van het Zeeheldenfestival directly through its donation page (https://zeeheldenfestival.kentaa.nl/donate). 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, Stichting Vrienden van het Zeeheldenfestival 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.
