Algemeen nut beogende instelling

So, there are some organizations in the Netherlands that do things to help everyone, like schools and hospitals and charities. These organizations are called ANBI, which stands for Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling.

Basically, ANBIs are special because they don't have to pay taxes on the money they get from donations or from doing their work to help people. This means they can use more of the money to do good things, like buy books for a library or give toys to children in need.

ANBIs need to follow special rules to make sure they really are helping everyone and not just a few people. These rules include things like having clear goals for what they want to accomplish and making sure the people in charge are not getting too much money.

So, when you see an organization is an ANBI, you can feel good knowing that they are doing things to help everyone and that your donations are going to a good cause.
