Friends of the Museum De Kring Friends of the Museum de Vier Quartieren is an association that aims to: Promote the work of and provide support to the activities of the De Vier Quartieren foundation, located in Oirschot, and this in the most comprehensive sense of the word. With effect from 1 January 2014, the association has been qualified by the Tax Authorities as a public benefit institution (ANBI), more specifically, as a cultural ANBI. The association is registered with the tax authorities under the tax number RSIN 816494915. Because the association is an ANBI, it is exempt from gift tax and inheritance tax. This means that legacies and/or inheritances are received tax-free by the association. In addition, gifts and donations are subject to conditions deductible for income tax. You will find more information about this below. Financial support is of great importance for a museum to be able to incur special expenses that cannot be counted as normal operating expenses (eg the purchase of audio-visual equipment, a laptop and LED lighting). You can support in two ways: 1. Become a friend of the museum. This can be done by transferring € 25 annually to IBAN account number: NL81 RABO 0168 4725 62 in the name of Circle of Friends of the Museum de Vier Quartieren, stating “friend”. The association keeps the friends informed about all (changing) exhibitions in the museum. Every year (in January) the association organizes a 'Friends Afternoon' that consists of the annual meeting, a New Year's drink and a festive gathering with, for example, a lecture. If your financial contribution has been credited to our account, you will receive a confirmation letter, which includes proof for one year of free access to the De Vier Quartieren and the Kruysenhuis museums. 2. Become an ambassador of the museum. Under the banner of the Circle of Friends of the Museum de Vier Quartieren association, it is possible to become an ambassador, in other words to join the ambassadors' club. Ambassadors are private individuals who have a warm heart for the museum and who are able and willing to contribute a little more than the usual donation as a Friend. The Circle wants to use the ambassador's contributions in consultation with the museum's board for concrete, small-scale, manageable projects for which the museum itself does not have the financial resources. This must concern projects that are necessary to make the museum more attractive to visitors and to keep it attractive and to ensure that the museum can always offer something new. You can choose from donations of €150, €250, €500 or more (to be determined by yourself) per year. You also determine the number of years that you want to donate. What is the opposite of this as a gesture from the friends of the museum: - With a donation of € 150,-1 ambassador's pass and 2 entrance tickets; - With a donation of € 250,- 1 ambassador's pass and 5 entrance tickets; - With a donation of € 500 or more, 1 ambassador pass and 12 entrance tickets; - You can give the tickets to family, friends and/or acquaintances. With an ambassador pass you have; - Unlimited access to the museum for 2 people. - Mention on the website, if the ambassador so wishes. - attribution in the museum, if the ambassador so wishes. - invitation to opening temporary exhibitions and lectures. - information through newsletter; - invitation to the annual meeting and festive gathering with, for example, a lecture for 2 people. - introduction evening about the museum (motto 'ambassadors recruit ambassadors'); You can transfer donations to: IBAN account number NL81 RABO 0168 4725 62 in the name of Circle of Friends of the Museum de Vier Quartieren, stating “ambassador”.
