Articles of Association for Nonprofit Organization (Statuten) are essential founding documents required for establishing and operating a nonprofit entity in the Netherlands. This document must be drafted in Dutch and executed before a Dutch civil law notary, after which it needs to be registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK). The Articles define fundamental aspects such as the organization's purpose, governance structure, board responsibilities, and decision-making procedures. They must comply with Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code and, if applicable, include provisions to meet ANBI (tax-exempt) status requirements. The document serves as the primary reference for all governance matters and can only be amended through a formal notarial deed. It's particularly crucial for establishing legal personality and ensuring proper governance structure in accordance with Dutch law.
