Structure of the ‘Stichting’ (Foundation)
The formal structure of the foundation will meet all the legal requirements: a formal description of its essential purpose, a properly configured board, a dedicated bank account and ANBI (NPO) status – allowing contributions to be fiscally deductible. Beyond the legally required Annual Statements, the foundation will inform current and future ‘Friends of Symbulon’ through a website and newsletters. Incidental and periodic contributions, small and large, are all welcome and will together support the project. A special mention deserves a donation of € 1000,-. which, especially in South Africa, makes a big, big difference. Our next Newsletter will follow late July, early August 2019, with more news about developments. Then we can reveal something very special, which has to remain kept secret till then.
