IFLA and Charity Status - a Briefing

Abstract

At its meeting on 15-17 April 2024, the IFLA Governing Board agreed to propose, at our upcoming General Assembly on 20 June 2024, the necessary changes to our Statutes to enable IFLA to formally apply for ANBI status under Dutch law. Acquiring ANBI status would mean that IFLA is more explicitly focused on public benefit and is the Dutch equivalent of a charity.

This briefing provides background to this process, ahead of the publication of the formal convening notice with the text of the amendments. In addition to this briefing and information shared with the convening notice, we will also hold online meetings to hear questions and provide any further details that our members need in deciding how to vote.
