How can I donate?
Thank you so much for considering our foundation. It is greatly appreciated. If you are not convinced yet, please read here why you should consider using your funds to create local and transparent impact for health and education through the iSTEPup Foundation.
You can transfer your one-time or recurrent donation to:
Name: Stichting iSTEPup (iSTEPup Foundation)
Bankaccount (IBAN): NL88ABNA0814002315
Bank: ABN AMRO Bank
BIC: ABNANL2A
Address: Maaskade 91A02, 3071 NE Rotterdam, the Netherlands
Please include: student name or student number (ISU) if you would like to donate to one of our students specifically.
At the iSTEPup Foundation, we prefer direct bank transfers to our own account because there are no transaction fees: your entire donation goes to the charity.
If you are considering a recurrent donation over several years, additional tax benefits apply (see the box below), and it provides us with a solid base, as we support students for multiple years (the entire duration of their studies).
Together, we step up for Health!
Goodshift
Alternatively, you can use the new platform goodshift as also 100% of your donation will be forwarded to the iSTEPup foundation. A one-time donation can be made through their website and a periodic/returning donation can be made using their app. Also, you can support a specific student through their platform.
Information about contributing to iSTEPup
You can choose to support the work of iSTEPup once or periodically. You can also choose to support the work of iSTEPup in general, or to support a specific student or students from a specific country. We prefer a recurring donation as we support students during many years.
Tax advantages (only applicable for donors from the Netherlands)
The iSTEPup Foundation has been designated as ANBI (public benefit organisation). An institution can only be an ANBI if at least 90% of the efforts is spent for public benefit. Our goal is even to donate more than 95% to the charity. According to Dutch law, donors of an ANBI may deduct their donations from the income or corporation tax (only applicable for Dutch donors).
Your entire donation is tax deductible if you periodically donate with a minimum of € 50 / year for 5 years. This is particularly interesting because there is no threshold and no maximum amount for periodic donations. You can download the form (“periodieke gift in geld”) here, fill it and send it to treasurer@i-step-up.com
Read more about this concept on the website of the Dutch consumers association (Article in Dutch).
