Associations and foundations

Associations and foundations

The sector of foundations, associations, federations, and NGOs is made up of non-profits that develop projects for social action or the defence of collective interests.

The main challenges faced by these entities include accountability and demonstrating their effectiveness to their stakeholders and to society in general, requiring professionalised management. Furthermore, as the future trends point to international integration and globalisation, their role is being harmonised in various countries.

Our expert advisers in this sector are aware of their needs, concerns, and objectives. Based on their experience serving as trustees, they have the right knowledge to support clients, and they advise founders and boards of governors and trustees on a regular basis. Our service aims to help foundations and associations to meet their obligations in terms of supervisory bodies and official registers.
