Purpose of the ANBI

The Kepler Cheuvreux Foundation is a Dutch public benefit organisation entitled to the status of Dutch ANBI (Algemeen nut beogende instelling) since it is totally dedicated to public benefit actions. The Kepler Cheuvreux Foundation has been created in the Netherlands to help with Pan European fundraising and grants, in line with the Pan European footprint of the Kepler Cheuvreux group. Thanks to the ANBI status of the Foundation, donations may be eligible to tax deductions with some conditions in most European countries.

 

Highlights of the policy plan

Kepler Cheuvreux Group is a leading pan-European financial services company, active in research, intermediation and advisory. It was founded in 1997.

Kepler Cheuvreux Group’s employees share key values: Independence, commitment, entrepreneurial mindset and social and environmental awareness.

Kepler Cheuvreux is a truly entrepreneurial business with employees and management owning more than a quarter of the share capital.

Through its multi-local footprint, the group has been highly sensitive to the social and health impacts of the coronavirus crisis in the 13 countries where it operates, and has put a strong emphasis on the protection of its employees and clients since the very beginning of the crisis. 

Aware of its social responsibility, the group now wants to go a step further by contributing substantially and concretely to common good, involving its employees, clients and partners, in the context of the coronavirus crisis and, beyond, over the next years. 

The Kepler Cheuvreux Foundation pursues several objectives that are defined in Article 2.1. of its Articles of Incorporation :

“The foundation has been formed to pursue the following objects: 
a. to promote a society in which everyone can access quality healthcare and benefit from medical innovations, including in contexts of crises when healthcare systems may be overloaded. To that end, the foundation will transparently support non-profit public and private health institutions and the projects they will promote; 
b. to support charitable organisations which are supporting, in the short term, the victims of the economic & social consequences of the crisis due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and in the longer term, deprived people; 
c. to support other charity projects related to wider objectives, such as education, science and research, in accordance with its charity nature and its willingness to promote common good in Europe; 
d. to collaborate with, to incorporate, to participate in, to coordinate and further develop activities of other legal persons and organizations that are engaged in any of the activities set forth in article 2.1 under a., b. and in any related matters, in the broadest sense.”

The Kepler Cheuvreux Foundation is a non-profit organisation, and will only support non-profit organisations, whether public or private. As a result, the Foundation does not aim to make any profit.

To reach its objectives, the Kepler Cheuvreux Foundation will, in particular:
> Support public and private healthcare services providers in Europe, in particular in critical contexts,
> Support charitable organisations which are supporting, in the short term, the victims of the economic & social consequences of the Covid-19 crisis, and in the longer term, deprived people,
> Support non-profit private and public healthcare research institutions throughout Europe,
> Support European institutions hosting elderly or disabled people.
