The Articles of Organization For Nonprofit is a crucial legal document required for establishing a foundation (stichting) in the Netherlands. This document serves as the constitutional framework for the nonprofit organization, prepared in accordance with Dutch law, particularly Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. It must be executed in Dutch before a civil law notary and registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK). The articles define the organization's purpose, governance structure, board responsibilities, and operational procedures. They are particularly important for organizations seeking ANBI status and those requiring formal documentation for stakeholders, donors, and regulatory compliance. The document needs careful consideration during drafting as it forms the legal basis for all organizational activities and can only be modified through formal procedures involving a notary.
