Gift options for private individuals

How?

If you do not currently live in the Netherlands, please contact us  to discuss the possibilities.

If you live in the Netherlands, regular donations can easily be stipulated in an agreement. UF/e has its own model agreement for regular donations, which makes it easy to conclude the agreement! In the agreement you determine the amount that you give to UF/e every year and when the annual donation stops (no later than upon your death). 

Advantages

• You contribute to scientific education and research in the field of innovative technology.
• With your long-term support you will contribute to the objectives of UF/e and ensure continuity of education and research at TU/e.
• Full tax deduction possible in the Netherlands.
• UF/e does not have to pay gift tax on your donation.
• Limited administrative burden if you use the regular donation agreement of UF/e and direct debit.

Calculation example if you are a taxpayer in the Netherlands

• You have an annual income (collective income) of € 120,000.
• You donate € 4,000 annually for a period of 5 years (total: € 20,000).
• The tax benefit after deduction at the highest rate* is € 8,712.
• Your donation to UF/e costs € 11,288 net.

Regular gift agreement

* The highest deduction rate of currently 51.75% will be reduced over the years to 37.05% in 2023. This has been taken into account in the calculation.

How?

A one-off donation can be made by bank transfer. You do not need to fill in a separate agreement.

 We have listed the different options for you:

• A donation via our online donation module. 
• The transfer of an amount (account number: NL93RABO0101061226) in the name of Stichting Universiteitsfonds Eindhoven.

Advantages

• You contribute to scientific education and research in the field of innovative technology.
• A tax deduction is possible in your income tax return (threshold 1% or € 60 and ceiling 10% of your aggregate income).
• Your donation will fully benefit the charity because UF/e does not have to pay gift tax.
• Simple and limited administrative burden.

Calculation example if you are a taxpayer in the Netherlands

• You have an annual income (collective income) of € 120,000.
• You donate € 20,000 to UF/e.
• The maximum gift deduction is € 12,000 - The tax benefit after deduction of 51.75%* is € 6,210.
• Your donation to UF/e costs € 13,790 net.

* The highest deduction rate of currently 51.75% will be reduced over the years to 37.05% in 2023.

Approach

UF/e can be a beneficiary if you make provision for this in a will. A so-called codicil, a 'handwritten note', is not enough. You can leave financial resources or other property by means of a legacy or a bequest. It is also possible to include an obligation on your heirs in your will to support UF/e financially. This testamentary obligation is free-format.

A legacy confers the right to a property determined in the will. This does not depend on the total size of the estate. This is in contrast to a legacy whereby the legacy included in the will confers the right to a percentage of the inheritance.

Advantages

• You will contribute to scientific education and research in the field of innovative technologies.
• The will offers flexibility
• Leaving a legacy to UF/e is part of estate planning, as a result of which the taxation of your assets on death is limited because everything you leave to UF/e is 100% exempt from inheritance tax.
• Leaving a legacy to UF/e contributes to building a legacy after your death.

Calculation example if you are a taxpayer in the Netherlands

• In this situation, you or your heir are not entitled to the tax gift deduction.
• UF/e does not have to pay inheritance tax on the legacy or bequest received.
