Governance.

Our mission

Stichting Grotius is committed to forming virtuous leaders for a better society. We pursue this aim through formation programmes that shape character and principled leadership across generations.

Board composition

• Oliver Tuazon — Chair
• Frank Janssen — Secretary
• Joeri Potters — Treasurer

All board members serve without remuneration. Reasonable expenses are reimbursed against receipts in accordance with our expense policy.

Remuneration policy

Trustees receive no compensation for their service to the board. Operations staff are paid at fair-market rates for part-time public-sector or academic roles, set annually by the board. No member of staff receives remuneration in excess of the salary norms applicable to a Dutch public-sector director.

ANBI status

The foundation is preparing its application for ANBI status (algemeen nut beogende instelling) with the Dutch tax authority. The status has not been granted yet, so gifts to Stichting Grotius are not tax-deductible for the time being. The reports below are published as part of that preparation; the policy plan and the statutes follow.

Policy plan, in outline

The four-year policy plan is built around three commitments: (i) running and steadily growing the GLI programme line; (ii) building the vRLI institute to a state where it can launch its first cohort; and (iii) sustaining the foundation's flagship iPLC conference as a public point of contact. Funds are stewarded toward those three lines, in that order. The plan itself is to be published.
