Certified Charity

Eye Care Foundation has been recognised as a charity by the CBF (CBF-Erkend Goed Doel), and we have been closely reviewed. Eye Care Foundation is registered as an Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling (ANBI). The ANBI-status is a condition to be eligible for fiscal advantages. ANBI is not a certification. For charities, a recognition arraignment goes further than the ANBI prerequisites. This recognition is given by the Centraal Bureau Fondsenwerving (CBF), the independent supervisor of charities in The Netherlands. The CBF checks if charities meet the strict quality demands.

Donations make our work possible

Our activities for good eye care are possible through active funding. Eye Care Foundation runs entirely on donations, large and small. Donations make our work possible; without them, these regions have no opportunities for good eye care. We use our donations directly for all our activities.

Our activities are completely clear

Our focus is on improving, preventing and curing. This is what we do:

  • Training local medical personnel and volunteers
  • Setting up field offices for general support and medical management
  • Building eye clinics at easy-to-reach locations
  • Donating medical eye care equipment
  • Financing cataract surgeries
  • Eye exams for elderly and schoolchildren
  • Prescribing eyeglasses

Together for better vision
