### ANBI Status Application Form for Dutch Non-Profits

If your non-profit organisation operates in the Netherlands and wants to unlock significant tax benefits for both your organisation and donors, applying for **ANBI status (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling)** is an essential step. This ANBI Status Application Form template is designed to help Dutch non-profits, foundations, and charities streamline the application process with the Belastingdienst (Dutch Tax Authority).

#### What is ANBI status and why does it matter?

ANBI designation confirms that your organisation works exclusively or almost exclusively for the public benefit. Once approved, your organisation becomes exempt from gift and inheritance tax, and donors can deduct their contributions from taxable income. This status significantly increases your fundraising appeal and operational efficiency.

Obtaining ANBI status requires demonstrating clear public benefit objectives, transparent governance structures, and proper financial administration. The application process involves extensive documentation around your organisation's bylaws, board composition, activities, and financial policies—which is exactly what this template helps you compile.

#### How Paperform simplifies your ANBI application

Rather than wrestling with static PDF forms or fragmented email exchanges, this Paperform template creates a structured, user-friendly experience for collecting all required ANBI information. The form guides applicants through each section of the requirements, from KVK registration details to governance transparency commitments.

The form intelligently uses conditional logic to adapt questions based on your organisation type—whether you're a stichting (foundation), vereniging (association), or other legal entity. This means applicants only see relevant questions, making the process faster and reducing errors.

Since many ANBI applications involve multiple stakeholders (board members, treasurers, legal advisors), Paperform's clean, branded interface makes it easy to share the form link and collect information collaboratively. All submissions are stored securely in your Paperform account, and you can export complete applications as PDFs ready for submission to the Belastingdienst.

#### Who benefits from this template?

This template is ideal for:

 - **Non-profit founders and directors** setting up new stichtingen or verenigingen who need ANBI status from day one
 - **Existing charities** seeking to formalize their tax status and improve donor relations
 - **Legal and administrative consultants** who advise multiple non-profit clients on Dutch compliance
 - **International organisations** establishing Dutch entities and navigating local regulatory requirements
 - **Community organisations and religious institutions** demonstrating public benefit activities

Whether you serve cultural preservation, education, healthcare, environmental protection, poverty relief, or any other recognised public benefit category, this form helps you articulate your objectives clearly and comprehensively.

#### Key information captured by the template

The form collects all critical components required for ANBI status determination:

**Organisation fundamentals:** KVK registration number, legal name, BSN (where applicable for contact persons), registered address, and entity type ensure proper identification within the Dutch regulatory system.

**Public benefit objectives:** Detailed questions about your organisation's mission, specific activities, target beneficiaries, and how your work serves the general public help demonstrate genuine public benefit rather than private interests.

**Governance and transparency:** Information about board composition, meeting frequency, conflict of interest policies, and decision-making processes shows proper oversight and accountability—critical factors in ANBI approval.

**Financial administration:** Questions about bookkeeping practices, annual reporting, budget allocation, and fundraising methods demonstrate financial responsibility and transparency.

**Publication commitments:** Confirmation that you'll maintain required public disclosures about objectives, board members, remuneration policies, and annual reports on your website or through other accessible channels.

#### Connecting your ANBI workflow with Stepper

Once someone completes your ANBI application form, the real work of preparation and submission begins. This is where **Stepper** (stepper.io) becomes invaluable for non-profit administrators and consultants managing multiple applications.

With Stepper's AI-native workflow automation, you can turn each form submission into a structured process:

 - **Automatically generate document packages** by pulling form data into application letters, governance statements, and supporting declarations
 - **Route applications for internal review** by assigning tasks to board members, legal advisors, or financial officers based on their expertise
 - **Track application status** from initial submission through Belastingdienst review and final approval
 - **Set up reminder workflows** for annual ANBI reporting requirements and policy updates
 - **Sync applicant information** with your CRM, Google Sheets, or Airtable for ongoing compliance management

For consultants and advisors serving multiple non-profit clients, Stepper lets you create standardized ANBI application workflows that maintain quality and completeness across all clients while saving dozens of hours per application.

#### Ongoing compliance and reporting

ANBI status isn't a one-time achievement—organisations must maintain compliance through annual reporting and public transparency. This template can easily be adapted for annual ANBI renewal documentation or updates to governance policies.

Paperform's integration ecosystem means you can connect submissions to your financial management tools, governance platforms, or document storage systems. Connect to Google Drive or Dropbox to automatically file supporting documents, or push data to Notion or Airtable to maintain your compliance calendar.
