Statute overview

About this statute

A foundation’s incorporation deed must include specified identifying, governance, and funding details. The foundation’s bylaws must include specified basic information and governance rules. The foundation endowment must be adequate and sufficient for its purposes; if it is below 30,000 euros, the founder must justify it, and certain contribution and proof rules apply. Mientras la fundación se inscribe, el Patronato solo puede hacer lo necesario para registrarla y proteger el patrimonio; si pasan seis meses sin pedir la inscripción, el Protectorado puede cesar a los patronos y nombrar otros. Every foundation must have a governing body called the Patronato, which makes decisions by majority and manages the foundation’s purposes and assets diligently.
