ANBI stands for “Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling” (Public Benefit Organization) in the Netherlands. It’s a tax-exempt status for foundations that serve the public good.

Why it matters for you:

• Tax benefits: Dutch donors can deduct donations to SMY from their taxes
• Credibility: ANBI status requires strict transparency and accountability standards
• Mission protection: ANBI organizations must serve public benefit, not private profit
• Funding access: Many European grants and foundations only fund ANBI-certified organizations

For TKM Eco Shareholders: While TKM BV itself is a for-profit company (so you can earn dividends), it’s founded by an ANBI organization (SMY). This means:

• Your investment supports a mission-driven enterprise
• SMY’s 60% ownership ensures TKM stays focused on community benefit
• The structure balances profit with purpose

Think of it this way: ANBI status is like a “seal of approval” that proves SMY is legitimate, transparent, and committed to serving the public good—not just making money for private owners.
