Policy Plan

The method of acquiring income

The Foundation raises funds to support its mission through:

• Corporate social responsibility (CSR) donations from companies in the Netherlands.

• Grants from foundations that support nature conservation.

• Private philanthropists visiting the primary conservation landscapes in southern Kenya.

As an ANBI, donations to the Foundation are tax-deductible in the Netherlands, and all funds are used exclusively for biodiversity conservation initiatives in line with our mission.

Management and use of assets

The Biodiversity Conservation Foundation is a non-profit organisation. All assets are used to fulfil the organisation’s objectives, overseen by the board. The board members have equal voting rights, and no individual has majority control over management or assets.

Renumeration policy

Board members receive no remuneration for their work but are entitled to reimbursement for expenses incurred in the performance of their duties. Staff remuneration is set responsibly and transparently. Our policy objective is to remunerate staff at the median of the appropriate reference markets for their roles.

Finances

Our annual operating budget is approximately €100,000. This covers:

• Hiring staff to actively work on biodiversity conservation, particularly in southern Kenya.

• Insurance and other minor administrative costs.

We rely on the volunteer efforts of our board to achieve the Foundation’s objectives.

We also publish our annual financial statements on this page, providing a clear overview of our income, expenditures, and reserves. This ensures full transparency for donors, partners, and the public.

Annual reports and financial statements

We make our annual reports and financial statements publicly available to demonstrate accountability and show how we allocate resources to achieve our mission.

Additional policies and transparency measures

• The Foundation adheres to best practices in governance and ethical management.

• We collaborate with partners, communities, and institutions to ensure that all projects are aligned with our conservation objectives.

• Policies and reporting practices are regularly reviewed to ensure compliance with ANBI regulations and the highest standards of transparency.
