- Stichting van Openbaar Nut in Belgium
- Gemeinnützige Verein/Stiftung in Germany

To approve your application, we need proof of your PBO-status. We recommend waiting to apply until your nonprofit is officially certified.

When submitting your application during weekdays, approving it usually takes a maximum of 24 hours. Please make sure everything is filled out properly.
