Corporate partners

Put your organisation there from the start

Joining the Rapid Response Fund as a corporate partner puts your organisation there from the start, visibly, to your people, customers, and stakeholders. Different levels of support offer tailored opportunities for visibility, engagement, and insight into CER’s work.

Make your gift go further

CER has ANBI status in the Netherlands,. Dutch donors can deduct their donations from taxable income or profit within the applicable limits, with additional advantages for long-term contributions. Gifts and bequests to CER are also exempt from Dutch gift and inheritance tax, so the full amount of your donation supports our work.

Periodic donations offer the maximum tax advantage. When you commit to a fixed amount for a minimum of five years, set out in a written agreement, your gift is fully deductible, with no threshold (up to €1.5 million per year in 2026). To determine your individual tax deductibility, please check the relevant guidelines. We have developed a personalised calculation tool with ANBIgift. See what your specific tax benefit would be here.

Giving from the United States? US-based individuals and companies can donate through our US Friends Fund, operated by Myriad USA, a 501(c)(3) public charity, and may be eligible for US tax benefits.

A gift you can trust

CER is a CBF Erkend Goed Doel. The Dutch Fundraising Regulator (CBF) awards this recognition to charities that meet strict quality standards for governance, transparency, and the responsible use of funds.

This independent recognition means you can give with confidence, knowing that CER is transparent about its work, accountable for how donations are spent, and independently evaluated.
