Procedure details

As foundation authorities, the governments must ensure in particular that the basic assets are preserved undiminished, that the income is used as intended and that the provisions of the foundation charter are complied with.

The foundation authorities have a comprehensive right to information and disclosure so that the aforementioned tasks can be carried out effectively. For its part, the foundation has the obligation to immediately notify any changes to the address, the power of representation and the composition of the organs. For this purpose, the current version of the supplementary statutes applicable to the foundation and those relevant for supervision (in particular the rules of procedure) must also be submitted to the competent authority.

The power of representation or the composition of the foundation's bodies has changed.

  • The following documents are required:
    • Resolution of the Board of Directors (election, appointment, dismissal)
    • Minutes of the meeting/meeting transcript
    • Declaration of acceptance of the elected/appointed person

The competent government must be notified of any changes to the power of representation or the composition of the bodies.

Costs are incurred for certain supervisory measures that only apply in exceptional cases, depending on the administrative effort involved and the importance of the matter. Otherwise, the activities of the foundation supervisory authority are free of charge for foundations that primarily pursue public purposes.

The notification must be made immediately.
