Legacy

Humans have a huge impact on nature. And thus the seal's habitat. If we want future generations to be able to enjoy this special ecosystem, we have to take care of it. For both humans and animals. Because together we are one nature. With a legacy to Sealcentre Pieterburen, you contribute to this.

Support our mission

A healthy seal in a healthy sea is the starting point on which we workevery day. We do this by conducting research, educating future generations on our campus and sharing our knowledge with other centres and institutes.

    “Zeehondencentrum Pieterburen heeft voor mijn gevoel een goede balans gevonden tussen dierenwelzijn en natuurbehoud. Een deel van mijn nalatenschap gaat naar dit sympathieke doel. Het is kleinschalig en overzichtelijk. Bovendien CBF gekeurd. Hierdoor weet ik dat mijn nalatenschap goed besteed wordt.”

Practical information

Do you want (part of) your legacy to help seals? In your will, you can stipulate that seal centre Pieterburen becomes heir or one of the heirs. You do not pay any inheritance tax on this because we are a charity with ANBI status. Therefore, as with donations, your legacy is fully used for a good cause.
