i'd need to check this out with my former tutor - but as a reasonably
fluent Dutch speaker i understand Stichting to mean any kind of
organisation - it does not have a legal meaning as far as i am aware.
then again - IANADL - i am not a dutch lawyer ;)

  hello, 
  I gathered some information on the topic of
registering a
 foundation here in Amsterdam, but please keep in mind IANAL. 
Thank you very much for your work!
  what is a  Foundation (Stichting)  in
Netherlands?   Foundations
 are continental European equivalents  of the Anglo-Saxon trusts,
 the long-established estate   and tax planning tool whose  chief
 purpose is  to  provide a  safe haven  for  assets  intended for
 selected beneficiaries. Like trusts, they offer  a number of tax
 benefits,  their chief  purpose being  to  provide  a haven  for
 assets intended for nominated beneficiaries. 
Just a  single  thing I'm not sure  I  understood: does `nominated' in
this context means that beneficiaries of the assets should be declared
beforehand and not changed throughout the lifetime of the "Stichting"?
bye,
