ChildsLife Accreditation

ChildsLife is registered with and accredited by the relevant authorities and tax offices in The Netherlands, Kenya, Romania and the US. In order to ensure complete transparency, all ChildsLife activities are open and accessible to scrutiny by the authorities and its supporters.

ANBI Status in the Netherlands

ChildsLife The Netherlands is registered with the Dutch tax office as a non-profit institution (ANBI status), ensuring maximum tax benefits for the organization and donors.

To meet the ANBI status, the tax authorities set a number of publication conditions. ChildsLife meets these conditions.

CBF Accreditation

For 15 years, ChildsLife held the CBF accreditation. It was important for ChildsLife and appropriate for a growing organization in development.

However, in recent years, the costs of carrying and maintaining the CBF accreditation were no longer seen as a responsible use of funds for an organization of ChildsLife’s size. The preference is to save these costs and to use the funds directly for the programs.

After careful consideration and consultation with all stakeholders, the ChildsLife Boards of Directors and Trustees have therefore chosen not to continue the accreditation as of January 1, 2017.

ChildsLife’s transparent way of working has not changed. ChildsLife maintains the ANBI status and the accounts are audited annually by accredited Beuk Accountants of Velsen-Zuid in the Netherlands.

501c3 Status in the USA

ChildsLife USA is geregistreerd als non-profit met 501c3 status. Dit houdt in dat ChildsLife erkend is door de belastingdienst van de Verenigde staten, hetgeen belastingvoordeel oplevert voor zowel donateurs als de organisatie.

ChildsLife Kenya NGO registration
