The Omega Research Foundation has been established to boost awareness of human possibilities and the future human potential. Therefore our foundation supports research in the area of human development and psychological and social functioning. Its focus is in particular on the possibility of a major transition of society as has been predicted and described in the course of history by many sources from many cultures. Such a transition has for instance been labeled by the paleontologist Teilhard de Chardin as “Point Omega”.
Apart from messages from historical prophets and clairvoyants there appears to be surprising scientific support for the idea that humanity is at the brink of a major evolutionary and developmental psychological shift. The Omega Research Foundation’s focus is on such (novel) scientific data regarding such a shift.
Besides supporting relevant scientific research, the foundation also stimulates and organizes the wide distribution of all relevant information regarding the psychological and social mechanisms involved in this transition, evoking the widest possible involvement and support.
For the realization of our goals we are fully dependent on contributions from third parties like gifts, donations, sponsoring and legacies.
You can support the Omega project by:
- A one time gift
- The quickest way to support us just now.
- Becoming a Donor / Benefactor
- Monthly or yearly support
- Gifts at regular intervals
- Support us with the best tax advantages

Tax deductable
The Omega Research Foundation is an organization for the common good. This implies that gifts, donations and sponsoring from companies as well as from private persons are tax deductable.
For private persons from The Netherlands there is a difference in tax deductablity between 1) a one time gift or donation and 2) a fixed series of donations (“periodieke schenking”).
One time gift
The quickest way to support our project is a one time gift on line. Through this site you can transfer an amount of Euro 25 or any other amount. Give your support now !
You can also transfer your contribution to:
Bank acoount nr.: 57.07.92.592 with ABN/AMRO Bank
of the Omega Research Foundation, declaring “Gift”.
(IBAN number: NL65ABNA0570792592; BIC code: ABNANL2A)
Becoming a Donor / Benefactor
You can become a Donor or Benefactor of the foundation from €5 per month or €25 per year on. That way you support our work for the enhancement and the understanding of Point Omega.
The easiest and quickest method to become a monthly or yearly Donor is through PayPal.
You also can become a Donor by filling out the application form for monthly or yearly donations. In that case however, the minimum amounts are € 25 /month and € 100 /year because of extra administrative costs.
Change of address can be sent to us by e-mail. Cancellation of donorship can also be communicated by e-mail. Our e-mail address is support@omega-research.org.
Gifts at regular intervals with maximum tax benefits
In case you wish to support our work in the most tax deductable way, then you may decide for a periodic gift during a series of years through a notary deed.
The advantage of this method is that in The Netherlands the tax authorities will reimburse part of your gift by making the amounts involved fully deductible from income tax without any limit. The only requirement is that the gifts are being paid in equal yearly sums during at least five years.
In case you wish to utilize this method with at least €200 per year, we offer to arrange the notary deed in question, free of charge. In that case you proceed as follows:
- Fill out the proxy form for donations through a notary deed, signed by yourself and (in case applicable) your partner. Make a copy for yourselves;
- Have your signature legalized by a notary public of your choice;
- Send the proxy in an envelop to: Omega Research Foundation, Molenweg 15, 9761 VB Eelde, The Netherlands;
- Add a copy of your passport, driving licence or identity card and also of your partner (if applicable).
Within four weeks the official deed (act of donation) will be prepared by the notary public and will be sent to you through us.
The act of donation serves as proof for tax deductability (for The Netherlands under the heading of ‘periodieke giften’). We advise to also keep a copy of the bank transfer statement.
The act of donation expires after decease. Your descendants therefore do not inherit obligations.
For further information about donating you may contact us through e-mail: support@omega-research.org.
Legacies
It is possible to appoint the Omega Research Foundation as (one of) your inheritor(s) or to donate a specific amount as a legacy. That way you support our Omega Research Project also after your decease.
The Omega Research Foundation is an organization for the common good. This implies that legacies are not due to taxation.
For further information about legacies you may contact us through e-mail: support@omega-research.org.
Registration of donorship
Donors may choose to be included in the published list of benefactors of the Omega Research Foundation. In case the total amount donated is € 1.000 or more, the donor's name can be included in the list of benefactors, which is published in order of donated amounts. Donors can have their names removed from the list at any time.
Copy this wiki (our version of 'CopyRight')
We make regular dumps of the complete wiki as it is at certain points in time. You can download this dump. Then, if ever this wiki is taken off-line by some angry third party, a recent copy of the entire Wiki is still available elsewhere and can continue its development from some other place. For that reason we advise you, after downloading this dump, to distribute it among your trusted friends who like to support you in this act of information-transparency-insurance, and who are capable of installing MediaWiki and the dump to a mirror site. In that way you help to secure the indestructability of the information, assembled and developed on this Wiki and so to stabilize a lasting transparency of information about the root issues of human existence and survival. Thus you help to consolidate the emergence of point Omega and to secure the foundation of conscious human evolution. Help us survive, download now !
