An increasing number of individuals opt to leave donations to charity. Not everyone is aware that it's also viable to grant assets to a university. This is the reason why Dutch university funds initiate a collective promotional drive in November 2023 to highlight leaving gifts in a will towards scientific endeavors. The VUfonds is actively participating in this endeavor.
National magazine
You can find more information about this national campaign on the website Nalaten aan de wetenschap (Dutch only). A free magazine with stories from scientists, students and previous testators has also been developed for this purpose.
Brochure VUfonds
In addition, the VUfonds has its own brochure. In it you will find all practical information about legacies, such as drawing up a will and ways of leaving a legacy to charity. It also informs you about the history of the VU and its education and research. You can indicate whether you wish to receive the brochure by post or by e-mail.
