HOW TO HELP
Fund the step that unlocks the rest.
EqualFaith Europe’s legal work already exists. What it needs now is the legal standing to act on it at full strength — formal registration as a Dutch foundation. Every contribution, of any size, goes toward that first, concrete step.
The ask, plainly stated
Phase 1 covers formal incorporation, registration, and the infrastructure to operate transparently from day one. It’s deliberately small and specific, so support can be put to work in weeks, not months.
Where the money goes
The full Phase 1 budget, itemized — the same figures published on the Transparency page once funds start moving.
| Budget line | Amount | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Legal incorporation (civil-law notary, statutes, deed) | €800 | Not yet spent |
| KvK (Dutch Chamber of Commerce) registration fee | €85 | Not yet spent |
| Registered office / virtual office address, NL (first 3 months) | €150 | Not yet spent |
| Public transparency website (build, hosting, domain) | €1,200 budgeted | Covered by founder, €1,200 |
| ANBI application & basic bookkeeping setup | €300 | Not yet spent |
| Launch social-media campaign (creative, ads, promotion) | €300 | Not yet spent |
| Contingency | €665 | Reserved |
If Phase 1 is fully funded, or exceeded
Phase 1 is capped at €3,500 by design — it’s only meant to cover registration and launch, not the full first year. If contributions exceed that amount, the surplus will be disclosed openly on the Transparency page and applied to Phase 2 core operating costs (translation, outreach, continued legal work) rather than held back or spent without explanation. Nothing above the stated budget lines gets spent quietly.
Ways to help, beyond funding
Give
Fund Phase 1
Any amount toward Phase 1 moves registration forward directly.
Introduce
Make a connection
Know a funder, foundation, or institution this might resonate with? An introduction is often worth more than a donation.
Endorse
Lend your name
A public statement of support, from an individual or organization, helps credibility with institutional funders who look for third-party validation.
FOR INSTITUTIONS
Embassies, foundations, and funds
Institutions that can’t use a public donation page can support Phase 1 directly as a grant or in-kind contribution — the same budget applies either way.
Every euro received and spent is itemized on our transparency page, published monthly from the first contribution onward.
This work has already been done for six months, unpaid and self-funded. Phase 1 is what lets it operate as the organization it’s already becoming.
