Digitizing an ANBI Foundation: From Excel to App in 30 Days
Practical roadmap for foundation board members who want to replace their Excel administration with a modern digital solution — with ANBI reporting, donor CRM and iDEAL donations.
Running a Dutch ANBI foundation in 2026 is no easy task. The Tax Authority requires annual financial reports, donors expect personal updates, volunteers want decent planning, and you must remain GDPR-compliant. For most foundations under 5 employees, all this admin happens in Excel files that slowly become unmanageable.
This article gives you a 30-day roadmap from fragmented Excel admin to an integrated platform. Week 1: inventory. Week 2: choose platform. Week 3: migrate data. Week 4: go live and communicate.
Result after 30 days: 10-15 hours/month saved on admin, automatic ANBI reporting. Schedule a demo.
