| Sažetak (engleski) | A foundation is an asset intended to serve, by itself, or by revenues acquired permanently, some generally beneficial or charitable purpose, especially emphasizing that it is a non-profit legal entity without any members. Foundations in Croatia are governed by the Act on Foundations, which regulates, among other things, the issues of establishing, legal status, activities, organizational structure, and supervision of work. The purpose of a foundation is defined by the Act on Foundations, so that the generally beneficial purpose is defined as the purpose, with whose fulfilment many cultural, educational, scientific, or other social activities are promoted. On the other hand, the charitable purpose is defined by the law as the purpose through which support to persons in need of assistance is provided. In their work, they often rely on donations from citizens and private companies, as well as the volunteer work of numerous individuals. |
