In the spirit of founder Edmond Hustinx, many people are convinced that science and culture make a decisive contribution to the well-being of society. You too can make a real difference by making a contribution. The Hustinx Foundation has supported talented young scientists and artists for decades. For example, with the Hustinx Prize for Science at Maastricht University or the Henriëtte Hustinx Prizes for students in the arts.
Your donation makes it possible for promising creators and researchers to gain recognition and realize projects. Thanks to the foundation's independent and expert selection process, you can be sure your donation will be used fairly and exceptionally effectively. Your support therefore directly invests in the future of knowledge and culture in Maastricht and the surrounding area. Every donation, large or small, helps to create new opportunities.
Donating to the Hustinx Foundation is fiscally interesting and an ultimate social gesture, especially if you have few or no surviving relatives. You can easily include a legacy or inheritance in your will. The foundation is happy to work with your notary to arrange everything carefully and in accordance with your wishes.
With your support, you help young artists and scientists grow—even after you're gone. This way, your ideals live on in new ideas, research, and creativity.
You can indicate your preference, for example, science, music, or art. The foundation will then ensure that your contribution is managed safely and carefully and goes where it will make the most difference.
Donating or bequeathing to the foundation is also tax-efficient. As a recognized charity, the Hustinx Foundation is committed to strengthening science and culture in the Maastricht region. Various tax-efficient ways to contribute are available to both donors in the Netherlands and those abroad.
Together we invest in talent that advances our society. That's the power of a lasting gift.
The Hustinx Foundation is committed to supporting initiatives that truly contribute to science and culture in the region. We focus on projects and talent with a clear scientific, social, or artistic goal. This ensures that every contribution is used effectively—precisely where it truly matters.
Private purchases or travel, commercial activities (such as purchasing musical instruments), and projects that have insufficient impact are therefore not eligible for support. We are also unable to cover structural operating costs and long-term financial obligations.
