Dutch Bamboo Foundation is registered under Dutch law in the Chamber of Commerce (KvK) as Stichting Dutch Bamboo.

We have been granted ANBI status (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) with the Netherlands Tax Administration (Belastingdienst) to be officially recognized as a Public Benefit Organisation (PBO) . Effective: January 1st, 2024

Transparency

We believe in transparency. As a public benefit organisation, we keep the common interest first: reverse climate change to create a brighter future for our children and other living beings.

Your donation will be used solely for the mission of Our Plan which outlines how we aspire to cultivate Bamboo plantations in the Netherlands and to work with other future-minded organizations that wish to remove excess carbon from the atmosphere. While we will enable business, we are non-profit and do not take equity or other benefit sharing. This way, all proceeds go straight back into our organization.

Dutch Bamboo Foundation is part of the nature based solutions movement scaling carbon removal towards the gigaton scale, within a circular economy, and with healthy business models; financially, socially, and of course environmentally.

Pay and Remuneration Policy

Currently our executive team is only compensated for time and direct expenses or on a per project basis.

As a volunteer organization, our founder did not receive a salary for the year of 2021, 2022 and 2023. Why? DBF Is a grassroots organization. All funds are currently being funneled into projects to support our mission. Pay for the Managing Director will follow the lead of the currently in pilot policy of Dark Matter Labs: Formula = (Years experience + 23 (+ 8.82 for freelancers)) *1000 = gross pro rata pay in EUR. Pay is far below the maximum as laid down in the SFB Code for Good Governance.

Monthly gross salaries of the Board of Directors in 2024: DBF is a start up non-profit, thus no remuneration is in place until sufficient budget is secured. The board members are not compensated for their work, however in the future they may be reimbursed for expenses incurred up to 450 EUR/annum.

With this, DBF easily complies with the regulation directors’ fees within the charitable sector.

Salaries of DBF employees will follow the basic salary guideline: 2016 of Goede Doelen Nederland.
