networkers: to spread the idea and convince other people and organisations to support the plea for a global basic income
photographers: to make photos that we can use for our website and other promotion material or to help us find them
an editor: a native speaker or someone with a university degree in English to check the English text of this website for errors
members for the Supervisory Board: for practical reasons members of the Supervisory Board have to live in, or near, the Netherlands; the Supervisory Board discusses and advises on the policy and budget of the foundation; it has to approve the budget and the yearly report
others: if you want to help us with other talents or skills, please let us know

3. Financial contributions

You can support our work by a one-time or yearly financial contribution. At the moment we are operating on a low budget. We need more support to cover our basic costs (office and travel expenses). We welcome any financial support, however small.

Below you can find our account number and a more detailed description of ways to transfer money from different countries.

Transferring money from other countries: general information

You can transfer money by filling out an International Money Transfer Form, which you can get from your bank or post office. To fill out the form, you need our IBAN number (=International Bank Account Number) and the BIC code (=Bank Identifier Code) of our bank, also called SWIFT code. In the US and other countries that don't use the IBAN number you additionally need the name and address of our bank.

Name and address of our bank:

Postbank NV Foreign Operations
PO Box 1800
1000 BV Amsterdam

Furthermore you sometimes have to indicate who pays the transfer costs by filling in a code: OUR, SHA or BEN. If you don't write down one of the codes, the costs will be shared.

OUR = Our cost: it means that you pay all the transfer costs
SHA = Shared cost: you pay part of the costs, we pay the other part
BEN = Beneficiary cost: we pay all the costs

European Union

If you live in a member country of the European Union, preferably use Eurogiro. Within the EU money can be transferred without extra costs via Eurogiro. You pay the same rate as with a domestic money transfer.

You can use Eurogiro as is indicated above in the general information: ask your bank or post office for an International Money Transfer Form. Fill out the form and send it to your bank.

In most EU countries you only need the IBAN number, the BIC/SWIFT code and the name and location of the beneficiary to complete the form:

Countries outside the European Union

From countries outside the European Union preferably use Worldgiro. It works the same way as Eurogiro, but you can also transfer money in other currencies than Euros and there are extra transfer costs.

This is how it works: ask your bank or post office for an International Money Transfer Form. Fill out the form and send it to your bank. Don't forget to write down our IBAN number (NL43PSTB0008981358) and the BIC/SWIFT code of our bank (PSTBNL 21).

If the IBAN number isn't used by banks in your country, write down the name and address of our bank instead: Postbank NV Foreign Operations, PO Box 1800, 1000 BV Amsterdam. (Usually "Postbank, Amsterdam" will be sufficient.)

See above for more information about filling out an International Money Transfer Form.

Ask your bank how much they charge for Worldgiro. If you donate a small amount, use the OUR or SHA code for paying or sharing the transfer costs.
