Methodological note

Definition of concepts

Association
Non-profit organization, voluntarily formed by three or more persons to serve an objective of general or specific interest, through the sharing of personal resources or property temporarily or indefinitely.

Methodological aspects

The Directorate General for Law and Legal Entities is responsible for registering ordinary associations. Political, religious, competitive sports and professional associations which regulate working rights are excluded because they have specific registers.

The Directorate General for Law and Legal Entities is also responsible for registering and supervising foundations.

Associations and foundations are founded by three or more persons with a common objective. The most significant differences between an association and a foundation are these:

  • The creation of a foundation requires assets.
  • An association may pursue a general or specific objective (whatever the members want, as long as it is legal). In contrast, a foundation may only pursue objectives of general interest.
  • The governing bodies of an association are the general assembly and the board of directors, while the foundation has a board of trustees.
