Vereniging tot Behoud van Natuurmonumenten in Nederland is registered in the Netherlands. Vereniging tot Behoud van Natuurmonumenten in 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.
Vereniging tot Behoud van Natuurmonumenten in Nederland is a Dutch association (vereniging) - a membership-based legal entity whose members make decisions in a general assembly. Verenigingen with 'volledige rechtsbevoegdheid' (full legal capacity) are registered by notarial deed at the KvK and can hold ANBI status. A vereniging differs from a stichting in that it is member-driven: members hold the voting power in the general assembly, whereas a stichting is governed solely by its board. It is registered with the Kamer van Koophandel (KvK), the Dutch Chamber of Commerce, with RSIN 002565237.
You can verify Vereniging tot Behoud van Natuurmonumenten in 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 002565237. 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 Vereniging tot Behoud van Natuurmonumenten in Nederland 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.
Vereniging tot Behoud van Natuurmonumenten in 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 Vereniging tot Behoud van Natuurmonumenten in Nederland here: https://cbf.nl/organisaties/621. The passport shows the most recent audit outcome and the headline financial ratios.
As an ANBI, Vereniging tot Behoud van Natuurmonumenten in 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.

Al vaker contact met ze gehad over mijn bijdrage en altijd een goed antwoord terug gehad

Natuurmonumenten gaat in Abcoude op de commerciële tour. Echt schandalig!
Trustpilot
Ik ben benaderd door een persoon van natuurmonumente om lid te worden, op het moment dat ik met deze persoon in discussie ging over het nut van natuurmonumenten en vooral de hoeveelheid natuur werd de discussie direct gestopt door deze persoon.Dir is naar mijn mening zeer onprofessioneel omdat deze persoon wel tijd van mij vraagt maar als het hem niet past dan direkt stopt met de discussie en de verbinding verbreekt. zeer slechte actie
Trustpilot
Ik was lid geworden sinds een paar manden. bij opzeggen moet je verplicht 12.95 euro betalen voor aangetekend bevestiging per brief en 1,- euro per email. Terwijl op hun site is aangeven dat ik zelf mag kiezen of de bevestiging per brief of per email wil ontvangen. Het voelt niet goed.

Zeer goede organisatie❤️ Echt iets wat de natuur in nederland nodig heeft

Ik was aan het kajakken met mijn vriendin op een plas van natuurmonumenten. Vooraf op de borden gekeken en er stond nergens dat het niet mocht. Na een half uurtje peddelen stond er ineens een boa van natuurmonumenten langs de oever om te vertellen dat we er uit moesten. Wij gingen er direct uit en vervolgens geeft hij ook nog een proces verbaal, een waarschuwing had natuurlijk ook gekunt. Geef mensen strepen en ze worden vervelend. Nog even op de borden gekeken en er stond met kleine lettertjes onderaan: "overigens verboden toegang" daaruit had ik moeten kunnen opmaken dat je daar het water niet op mag. Ik heb mijn lidmaatschap per direct opgezegd want zo een onsympathieke organisatie ga ik niet steunen.
Trustpilot
Tickets geboekt om naar de markerwadden te gaan. Op tijd vertrokken om vervolgens door slechte bewegwijzering de boot voor ons neus te zien wegvaren. Niemand bereikbaar. Echt schandalig voor zoveel geld voor een ticket.
Trustpilot
Ik werd gebeld om geld, telkens werd gevraagd naar mijn bankrekeningen, ruimte voor vragen of dialoog was er niet. Toen ik de verenigingen zelf belde was niet veel beter. Wie ik aan de lijn kreeg, was net een robot. Toen ik hem vroeg of het door autisme kwam dat communicatie zo stroef ging, raakte hij geïrriteerd en ging hij op.
Trustpilot
Ticket geboekt, niet kunnen omboeken wegens slechte weersomstandigheden (open boot) We wilden niet dat kinderen ziek worden (ivm corona) we werden door medewerker gewezen op de voorwaarden...(tip: kijk naar muidenslot hoe zij omgaan met omboeken en annulering)Natuurmonumenten: Erg omzet gericht, niet gericht op customer en beleving--> Staatsbosbeheer snapt dit beter!

Zeer te vrede ben ik over het werk van Natuurmonumenten
