understanding among people through a deeper knowledge of their
mutual cultures,
ideas, traditions, faiths and beliefs in a dialogue intended to
stimulate cultural diversity.
At the heart of this mission is an aspiration to contribute to
the achievement
of a higher individual and collective state of consciousness.

charitable, religious, humanistic, cultural, and scientific
institutions whose mission and operations are deemed by the Tax Service
overwhelmingly serve the Common Good. The Dutch government implements a fiscal
policy that encourages donations to causes that advance the Common Good. Apart
from granting tax advantages to Spanda, ANBI status also favours Spanda’s sponsors,

in countries that grant tax concessions to registered charities, as well as
those based in the Netherlands. Sponsors, contributors and patrons
who have donated to Spanda may be able to deduct the amount from taxable
income.
