Associations, foundations and co-operations
Our vision on the sectors
The large number of associations, foundations and co-operation’s in The Netherlands can be conceived as deriving from the Dutch mentality of uniting, contributing, organising and creating. We consider these characteristics and organisations as extremely valuable in a flourishing community. But whereas on the one hand The Netherlands has a rich culture of establishing non-profit initiatives, on the other hand these organisations are more and more challenged: Increasing legislation, stricter supervision (for example the appointing of the WBTR for non-profit organisations as of 2021), restrictions due to corona and declining membership numbers have led to severe difficulties. It is not always easy to manage your organisation is a sustainable and solid way, nor may fiscal and legal demands contribute to comfortably manoeuvring a fast-changing cultural landscape. Lupacompany helps associations, foundations, and co-operations to get and remain financially, regulatory and strategically on track.
Our Clients
We work with many (small) associations in the form of for example VVE’s (Foundations of house-owners) and cultural nitiatives, but also with organisations that serve common interests or different parties that unite in the purchase of services.
