The shared goal
A strong foundation for the next five years
When 2,500 people commit €25 a month, that represents €750,000 a year and €3.75 million over five years. The five-year amount is the total value of those commitments, not money received in advance.

Why your support matters
Build a living knowledge institution
Public funding and project grants alone do not provide the continuity needed for long-term stewardship. Recurring support makes it possible to plan beyond a single project.
Research
Add context, names and connections so that collection material becomes more meaningful and searchable.
Share
Create exhibitions, stories and programmes in which different generations can recognise and question history.
Connect
Work with makers, researchers and communities to keep knowledge in motion.
What growth can enable
Every milestone strengthens the foundation
These milestones describe the intended growth path. They are not promises that a specific project starts automatically when a number is reached.
-
100donors represent30,000.00 €a year at the campaign's reference amount.
Fund and grant applications require time, case knowledge and follow-up. With a first steady group of donors, we can free up that capacity structurally instead of improvising per application.
-
500donors represent150,000.00 €a year at the campaign's reference amount.
A growing donor base requires administration that can handle it: clear agreements, timely direct debit collection, and an annual moment when we show donors what has been done with their support. General information about periodic gifts and ANBI status is also part of this.

Heritage spread across two continents calls for cooperation that goes beyond a single visit. It involves research, knowledge exchange, shared care for collections and institution-building on both sides.

An exhibition is up for a few months and then disappears. By systematically recording new presentations in 3D, what would otherwise only live on in visitors' memories remains accessible. We aim to keep that digital access public.

Finding a place of our own is skilled work. It requires a brief of requirements, site research, valuations, financial models, a legal structure, agreements with partners and a financing memorandum. At this stage, we can prepare that process professionally.

2500donors represent750,000.00 €a year at the campaign's reference amount.
With that base, together with grants, funds, partners and other sources of funding, we can genuinely make the step towards sustainable premises of our own possible. It doesn't mean that we buy a building once we reach 2,500 donors; it means that we can hold that conversation from a position of our own strength.
Periodic gift
Choose long-term support
A periodic gift is recorded in a written agreement. Under the current Dutch tax rules, you donate the same amount each year for five calendar years, receive no consideration and make the gift in money.
Choosing an amount starts your gift and sends you the agreement to sign, dated the day you arrange it. Signing is what makes the agreement valid: without it, the gift does not qualify for the cultural-ANBI deduction.
- The same annual amount for five calendar years
- A written private or notarial agreement
- No goods or services in return
- Only gifts made after the agreement count as periodic gifts
Museum Maluku is registered as a cultural public benefit organisation (culturele ANBI). Fiscal rules depend on your circumstances and can change. This page provides general information, not personal tax advice. Rules last checked on 23 August 2026.
Read the current rules for periodic and ordinary gifts at the Dutch Tax Administration.

One-time gift
Prefer to support once?
A one-time gift supports Museum Maluku directly. It does not create a subscription and does not count towards the target of 2,500 periodic donors, which is a different way of helping rather than a lesser one.

About the figures
How do we count?
The total counts people with a running periodic-gift agreement, each person once, however many agreements they hold. The annual figure is the sum of those running commitments, not an estimate based on an average gift.
One-time gifts support Museum Maluku directly, but do not count towards the target of 2,500 periodic donors.
The figures are recounted several times a day. No personal donor information is shown here or anywhere else on this website.
Trust and transparency
Your support deserves clarity
Museum Maluku uses financial support for its museum purpose: preserving, researching and sharing Moluccan heritage. Personal donor data and gift amounts are not published on this page.
Good to know
Questions about donating
Does the form immediately start a monthly payment?
No. It is a request to discuss and prepare a periodic-gift agreement. Museum Maluku will contact you; no payment starts through this form.
Is a one-time gift tax-deductible?
Ordinary gifts to an ANBI may be deductible above a threshold and up to a maximum. The rules depend on your income and circumstances. Check the current rules with the Dutch Tax Administration.
Why is there no current donor total?
Museum Maluku only publishes campaign progress when the number can be updated reliably from the donor administration. The page therefore shows the target without suggesting unverified progress.
Can I donate collection material here?
No. Use the separate Donations & acquisitions route so collection staff can assess the material and its context.
Can an organisation support Museum Maluku?
Yes. For a tailored institutional contribution or partnership, contact Museum Maluku so the purpose and conditions can be discussed.
