Having general terms and conditions drafted for a foundation by a specialized SME lawyer typically costs between €350 and €1,500, depending on the complexity of the foundation's services, activities, and donation flows. You will then receive terms and conditions that align with your articles of association, consumer regulations, and, where applicable, your ANBI status. Below is an outline of the process, what documents you need to provide, and what determines the costs.
The short answer
- Costs: approximately €350 – €1,500 with an SME lawyer, depending on complexity.
- Turnaround time: usually 1 to 3 weeks, including a revision round.
- Please submit: articles of association, ANBI status, activities, payment and cancellation preferences.
- Result: tailor-made terms and conditions plus advice on declaring them applicable.
- Self-help: possible for simple, low-threshold activities with a good basic model.
Why have it drafted?
A free online template is rarely tailored to your foundation. It does not take into account your specific activities, your statutory purpose, the way you process donations, or your ANBI status. Conditions that do not fit are useless at best and voidable at worst. A lawyer drafts conditions that align with the foundation's practices and comply with consumer regulations.
Moreover, a legal expert advises not only on the content but also on the manner in which you declare the terms and conditions applicable and make them available — often the point where things go wrong in practice.
The process step by step
- Intake: you discuss the activities, participants, payment and donation flows, and provide the articles of association.
- Concept: the legal expert drafts conditions that align with your articles of association and activities.
- Correction round: you read the draft, ask questions, and submit changes.
- Final version: the terms and conditions are finalized, with advice on declaring them applicable.
- Implementation: you incorporate them into your registration forms, website, and confirmation emails.
What do you provide yourself?
- The articles of association of the foundation, so that the conditions remain within the statutory purpose.
- Overview of activities: courses, events, rentals, publications, services.
- Payment arrangements: installments, prepayment, desired cancellation policy.
- Donation information: how you receive donations and whether the distinction between donation and consideration applies.
- ANBI status: whether the foundation is an ANBI and whether periodic donations occur.
What determines the costs?
- Number of activities. One type of activity is simpler than a mix of courses, rentals, and fundraising.
- Consumer or business. Additional rules (black/grey list) apply to private participants, which require more attention.
- Donations and ANBI. Conditions surrounding donations and the tax separation of gift and consideration make the whole process more complex.
- Liability risk. Activities involving physical risk require a more careful determination of liability.
For a foundation with one clear type of activity, you are at the lower end of the range; with a broad mix including ANBI donations and consumer participants, you are at the upper end.
Relationship to articles of association and other documents
The legal expert aligns the terms with the articles of association but does not amend them — an amendment to the articles of association is handled by a notary. If a desired activity falls outside the statutory purpose, this will be raised during the intake, and the legal expert will advise accordingly. Additionally, the legal expert points out documents you require separately, such as a privacy statement for GDPR compliance and, if applicable, a separate donation or volunteer agreement.
Short example
An educational foundation with ANBI status wanted to start offering paid courses alongside its existing fundraising activities. It had terms and conditions drawn up in which the courses (including payment and cancellation) were clearly separated from the flow of donations. This ensured that the tax separation between donation and payment remained clear and that the terms of participation complied with consumer regulations. Costs: under €1,000, including one round of revisions.
Honest recommendation
If your foundation operates on simple, small-scale activities without payment and without significant liability risk, you do not need a lawyer; a carefully completed basic template will suffice. Having one drafted pays off as soon as paid services, consumer participants, ANBI donations, or physical risk are involved. Request a fixed price and a revision round in advance, and provide your articles of association and an overview of your activities — this keeps costs low and ensures you get terms that truly fit.
