Friends of the FNL Foundation <\/h1>\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

To celebrate FNL’s 20th anniversary, the initiative arose to establish the Foundation Friends of the FNL. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Foundation Friends of the FNL supports (future) leaders who do not have sufficient resources of their own to participate in the FNL’s leadership programs. Promoting inclusiveness and diversity is central to this. By participating in our programs, they can create (even more) impact for a more sustainable world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a participant of one of the FNL programs, you support directly the Foundation Friends of the FNL. Part of your FNL program fee automatically goes to the Foundation Friends of the FNL. You support the participation of a (future) leader and you become a Friend of the Foundation Friends of the FNL. Via an annual contribution you will remain a Friend of the Foundation. The Foundation also receives donations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On May 30 the Foundation Friends of the FNL was registered at the Chamber of Commerce. Currently, an application is pending with the tax authorities to obtain ANBI status. The advantage of obtaining ANBI status is that the gift of a donor to a Foundation with ANBI status is deductible for income or corporate tax.  Also, an ANBI does not have to pay inheritance or gift tax for inheritances and gifts that the Foundation uses for public benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a positive expectation that the Friends of FNL Foundation will obtain this ANBI status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would like to be considered for support to participate in a FNL program or if you would like to become a Friend or donate, please contact info@naturalleadership.eu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
