Founding Support · Foundation initiative
Help Shape
the Beginning.
Founding Supporters can help turn an initiative into a workable institution. Choose cash resources, property support or both, and bring the project you care about.
A collective target. An individual choice.
The proposed €100,000 formation target brings together multiple contributors. It is not an individual minimum. Smaller contributions are welcome, and your proposed contribution can be discussed in relation to your interests and the initiative’s needs.
The formation model also seeks suitable property-use rights. A supporter may choose cash support, property support or a combination. No person is expected to provide both. You may also suggest a public-benefit project for consideration.
Three ways to participate.
Cash resources
Cash support could contribute to formation, governance, assessment, specialist studies, permissions or agreed programme delivery. Needs would be explained through budget lines and stages, separately from support already secured.
Property-use rights
Usufruct rights allow the use of a property and receipt of its income. A property need not be historic: it could provide space or resources for the proposed work. Its legal and physical position, term, restrictions, use and continuing costs would need careful assessment.
Cash and property together
A combined contribution may be appropriate where a supporter wishes to offer both. The components would be documented separately, with their purpose, conditions and responsibilities made clear. The arrangement would be suited to the particular circumstances.
Conditions before any transfer.
Proposed support would be defined in a written agreement before any transfer. Where conditional holding or release is contemplated, terms would need to identify responsible parties, permitted use, release conditions, oversight and what happens if conditions are not met.
These arrangements are not yet established. This page does not provide an escrow service, blocked bank account or guaranteed refund mechanism. The applicable structure must be agreed and documented before anyone relies on it.
Founding Supporter describes support for formation and initial work. Any governance role must be expressly defined in the foundation deed and relevant agreements; the term does not offer equity or a financial return.
The proposed governance model includes representation for supporters whose actual financial contribution is strictly more than €100,000. This is a separate threshold from the collective €100,000 formation target. Eligibility, appointments, roles and responsibilities must be defined in the foundation deed and relevant agreements, in accordance with applicable law, before any role takes effect. This proposal does not create a current or automatic governance right.
