Covenant Goede Doelen Nederland

Directors of charitable organisations may encounter intimidation, violence, or other threatening situations because of their position. In the event of such a threat, the director may shield the visiting address of their company or legal entity (with the exception of a bv or an nv) in the Business Register. A condition for this is that the sector organisation Goede Doelen Nederland has agreed on shielding criteria with KVK. Goede Doelen Nederland and KVK have set out these agreements in a covenant.
