Support us with a donation
Supporting the COC can be done in a variety of ways. For example, you can contribute by being yourself. As a gay man, keep walking hand in hand on the street. As a lesbian woman, keep giving your girlfriend a kiss when saying goodbye at the train station. Say something about it when a trans person is called out on the street.
In addition, you can also contribute financially. This support is just as essential to the COC, because these contributions have enabled us to make a difference for lhbti+ persons since 1946. Together, we support initiatives throughout society.
Donate for a diverse and inclusive society
We welcome anything, no matter how big or small your financial contribution. Fortunately, donating is a snap via iDeal, or our own Tikkie.
Would you rather make a donation yourself? Of course you can! You can transfer your donation to NL84 ABNA 05188 61 457 in the name of COC Netherlands.
Did you donate?
Then be sure to share it with friends, family, acquaintances, colleagues - anyone! Your contribution may motivate others to donate as well.
Donate as a company or employee(s)
Employees can often donate securely and quickly to COC through donation platforms such as Global Giving or Benevity. Check if your company is also affiliated with one of these platforms!
Did you know that employers can choose to double employee donations? Many companies already do this, making your euro worth twice as much, and supporting the lhbti+ community twice as much! Is your company not doing this yet? Then contact us at [email protected], and we can advise you on this.
COC is affiliated with the following donation platforms, among others:
Is your company affiliated with a donation platform that does not yet include COC?
If so, let us know and we'll get it sorted out!
Thanks to your support
Your contribution means a lot to us. Not only because we feel supported, but also because we can take action. So we can set up Gender & Sexuality Alliances (GSAs) at schools, make initiatives like Purple Friday possible and support the entire rainbow community. All possible thanks to your support!
So help us a lot! Through your contribution, you make an immediate difference for everyone in the rainbow community. Plus, donating is incredibly easy via iDeal, or our own Tikkie.
Frequently Asked Questions
I want to make a monthly fixed donation, how can I do that?
