There are several ways to make a one-off gift, for which we are very grateful. We appreciate all the support we receive.

• Donate online directly via our donation form, where you can choose from direct debit, iDEAL, or Visa/MasterCard.
• Bank transfer to IBAN NL20 RABO 0330 1371 58, in the name of Leids Universiteits Fonds. Please include your name and initials in the reference.
• By authorisation using our authorisation form. The amount will be debited at the end of the month, and you will receive a notification a few days in advance.

It is also possible to support the LUF via direct debit. By setting up a standing authorisation, you can make a fixed donation monthly or annually. Direct debit is available for amounts up to 5,000 euros.

Would you like to support research and science at Leiden University over a longer period in a tax-efficient way? Consider making a donation through a periodic gift.

With a donation agreement with the LUF, you commit to making an annual gift. The advantage of periodic gifts is that, with a minimum term of five years, they are fully tax-deductible. There is no threshold or maximum amount. 

Once you have submitted the completed donation agreement (in Dutch) to us, we will return a copy for your own records.

Many alumni of our university live abroad. Are you one of them and would you like to contribute to the flourishing of your alma mater? You can support Leiden University with a gift (in euros) to the Leids Universiteits Fonds via IBAN NL20 RABO 0330 1371 58 and BIC RABONL2U.

You can also easily donate via a standing authorisation if you live in one of the SEPA countries. SEPA stands for Single Euro Payments Area. Participating countries have agreements in place to simplify cross-border payments.

From the USA, Canada, and various European countries, it is possible to donate to the LUF with tax benefits.

Does your organisation have a strong commitment to academic research, talent development, or societal impact? Through the Leiden University Fund, your company can support Leiden University.

There are several ways to make a corporate donation. You can fund a specific project or contribute to a named fund. We are happy to work with you to find a purpose that aligns with your mission and ambitions.

Tax benefits
The LUF is recognised by the Dutch Tax Authority as an ANBI (Public Benefit Organisation). This means that, under certain conditions, corporate donations are tax-deductible from corporate income tax. For more information, please consult the Dutch Tax Authority or your tax advisor.
