Support young pianists
Will your support give young pianists, from the Netherlands and from around the world, the chance to develop artistically and personally? The Globe International Piano Concours creates an environment in which exceptional talent can grow, learn and inspire. Our organisation runs largely on the energy of enthusiastic volunteers, so every contribution — large or small — goes straight into the music.
“Nobody becomes great alone. Behind every great pianist stands someone who believed at the right moment.”

Periodic gift: fully deductible
If you commit your support for at least five years, the full amount is deductible in your income tax return — with no threshold at all. That applies to your friendship too: a Gold Friend who commits for five years deducts the whole € 300 every year. It is a single form from the Belastingdienst; no notary is involved.
Email us at globeipc@gmail.com and we will send you the agreement with the foundation’s details already filled in and signed. You can also read it first on the Belastingdienst website.
Tax deduction
GIP Foundation holds ANBI status. We pay no gift tax on what you give, and subject to conditions your gift is deductible:
- A one-off gift counts in your income tax return above a threshold of 1% of your income, with a minimum of € 60.
- A periodic gift — the five-year agreement described above — is deductible from the first euro.
Our RSIN is 869595611. All published details are on the ANBI page.
Our donation policy sets out how to stop a Friend subscription and when we refund a gift. Personal data is handled as described in our privacy statement.
