Why people donate here

Every euro has a name

You pick the project, we book your gift against it, and you see it back in your donor portal with a receipt. No general pot, no guessing where it went.

Volunteers run the programmes

Nobody here draws a salary. Your donation buys materials, pays the rent and the bills, and keeps the building work in IJmuiden moving.

The Dutch tax advantage

We are a recognised ANBI, so a gift may be deductible. A five-year periodic gift can be deductible in full, arranged here without a notary.

Weekend satsangs and cultural programmes at SGS Benelux Center in IJmuiden, food distribution (Annadanam) at events, and the Gītā Mahāyajña study programme, which is free to attend. Festivals and special programmes are livestreamed for people who cannot travel. Donations pay the running costs of the building, the renovation work, the food and the materials. The programmes themselves are run by volunteers.
