Background Adessium Foundation
Adessium Foundation was established in 2005 by the Van Vliet family, which has a background in asset management. The Foundation is recognized as a ‘public benefit organization’ (ANBI) by the Dutch tax authorities.
As stipulated in multi-year agreements, Adessium Foundation periodically receives donations from an affiliated foundation which oversees capital set aside by the Van Vliet family. The allocation of donations by Adessium Foundation meant for public benefit is strictly separated from its asset management. Adessium Foundation does not receive any other resources than what is gifted by the family.
Adessium Foundation is a member of the Association Foundation in the Netherlands (FIN) and the Philanthropy Europe Association (Philea). Adessium Foundation subscribes to the Philea code of conduct and meets the FIN criteria for good governance.
