Why support the Bollandists?

 

If we except a small subsidy from the Belgian «Fondation Universitaire» for the journal Analecta Bollandiana, the Société des Bollandistes has to sustain its activities entirely by its own means.   Maintaining the library at a level of excellence, confronting the costs of new publications and, above all, engaging in new projects is a constant challenge.

In order to support the Bollandists’ activities a fund has been created by the Belgian Fondation Roi Baudouin (FRB/KBS).

Join the circle of Friends of the Bollandists

With your help we can make sure that the Bollandists’ scrupulous scholarship will serve our society and Churches for generations to come. 

However you are able to help us, we invite you to join the:

Here is how to proceed for tax deductible donations:

In the Benelux, France and Denmark, tax deductible donations can be made directly on the Bollandist Fund managed by the Fondation Roi Baudouin — Koning Boudewijn Stichting (FRB/KBS) through bank transfer to the FRB/KBS account number: IBAN: BE10 0000 0000 0404 with the reference: 182/0420/00048  or Bollandist Fund.

  • In Belgium: a gift of 40 euros or more made via FRB/KBS entitles you to a tax reduction of 45% of the amount actually paid and stated on the certificate.

In the USA, you can support our activities in a tax-efficient way through a contribution to the American Friends of the Bollandist Society at the King Baudouin Foundation United States (KBFUS). Because KBFUS is a public charity, within the meaning of Sections 501(c)3 and 509(a)1 of the IRC, donors may claim the maximum tax benefits allowed by U.S. tax law for their contributions. If you wish to support us, here is how to proceed:

  • Gifts by check: Write your check to KBFUS with the mention “American Friends of the Bollandist Society” in the memo section and send it to KBFUS, 551 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2400, New York, NY 10176
  • Gifts by wire transfer or for contributing other types of property, please contact KBFUS: Phone: (212) 713 7660.

Other ways to support us:

We are the custodians of a large part of our roots and culture but we are not a museum.  We are a vibrant research centre, and with your support, our scholarship will continue to enlighten and guide future generations.     Amongst our 500,000 book collection there are many that can benefit from being restored.  You can choose the book you would like to adopt for restoration from our collection of books printed before 1800. For an adoption of 250 euros or more, your name will figure on a specialised bookplate inside the book and in the special section of our journal, Analecta Bollandiana. For further information about our Adopt-a-Book programme, please get in touch with our development office at: saintsernin@bollandistes.be
Endowment funds will allow us, the Bollandists, to continue our research and safeguard our heritage for generations to come.  They enhance our ability to employ highly qualified researchers, to fund acquisitions, to organise seminars and exhibitions. An outright gift of $100,000 or more can establish a named endowment and will provide funding for our scholarship for generations to come. For further information on endowments and on our recognition programme, please get in touch with our development office at: saintsernin@bollandistes.be.
Remembering the Bollandists in your will, is a way to guarantee the sustainability of our scholarship. It does not matter what the size of your gift is, we will respect your wishes and you will help in assuring the future of this centuries-old institution. For further information, please contact our development office at: saintsernin@bollandistes.be.
