Consider us in your will

Does Dutch Photography move you?  Is it close to your heart?  If so, consider the National Museum of Photography when creating your will.  Your planned gift can support a specific programme or your special wishes.   

Tell us your special wishes 

Most planned gifts are made by naming the museum as a beneficiary in your will or trust. Share your special wishes with us. Our programme advisor can offer advice and discuss the possibilities.   

Honour someone special with a Named Fund  

You can create a Named Fund to honour the memory of a loved one or someone special. Currently, the museum is working closely with three Named Funds – each with its own goals. 

The Anna Cornelis Fund stimulates documentary photography in the Netherlands. The Jan Bernard Gijsman Fund supports educational programs for photography and visual literacy projects. The Anna Atkins Fund together supports women photographers by providing funding for their first publication. 

Every cent improves the museum

When you donate to the National Museum of Photography, every cent goes to improving the museum. There are no gift or inheritance taxes.  That is because our museum is considered a cultural ANBI by the Belastingdienst, the Dutch tax authority. 

Let’s have an informal chat 

Our programme advisor, Elise van Heck can give you a private tour of the museum and discuss our upcoming plans. She can offer advice and help structure a gift that properly honours your legacy. You are under no obligation.   

Feel free to reach out to her at +31 6 306 407 27 or evanheck@nederlandsfotomuseum.nl.
