Stichting Zilver is registered in the Netherlands. Stichting Zilver 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 Zilver 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 860105118.

You can verify Stichting Zilver'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 860105118. 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 Zilver directly through its donation page (https://stichting-zilver.eu/word-donateur/). 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 Zilver 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.

★★★★★ I live in Spain where we collaborate…

I live in Spain where we collaborate with Stichting Zilver. They adopt dogs and cats from the shelter which I volunteer. We have a very good relationship with them. We also receive wonderful donations from them. Stichting Zilver does an amazing job for the animals and sometimes I wonder where they can find so much time in one day to work, it's almost as their day has more than 24 hours.We are so lucky to have Stichting Zilver as our collaborating partner.♥️

★★★★★ A brilliant rescue to work with!

We have been working with Stichting Zilver for several years and we are so proud of the association we have with them. We have sent dogs and cats to them and they find brilliant homes for them! Their professionalism and dedication is never in question. We always have excellent contact with them and follow up also. We see many many follow up images of our happy dogs and cats. Their communication is amazing and I highly recommend them to any adopters. Nick, volunteer, ASOKA Animal Rescue, Orihuela SPAIN.

★★★★★ Good team, great assistance

We have had lots of experience with Stitching Zilver as a shelter they work with. Our animals always get lots of attention at arrival and even after adoption if there's such need. We have always been informed of the health and psychological condition of our animals there. Extra care has always been provided when needed. Adoptions have always been corresponding to the personal needs and wellbeing of the animals which is the main point of the adoption process. Finding a good match is a hard work when you really care. And that's the case here - the team of Stitching Zilver care about the animals and try to do the best to give them wonderful lives. Adopters can always count on getting advices, tips and help in the welcoming process of the new family member. The workflow with the foundation is easy and quick. They are always responding if there's an emergency and their reactions are adequate to the situation.The help and assistance of the team is priceless! We have always been treated with respect and understanding! Thank you Stitching Zilver 🩷
