EndPlasticSoup started in 2018 in District 1580 with a number of Amsterdam Rotary Clubs taking the initiative to end plastic soup in the world. Since January 2020 EndPlasticSoup is an official “Stichting” (Public Benefit Organization, charity) according to Dutch Law with a Board. The bylaws meet the conditions for Rotary related organizations.

“Stichting EndPlasticSoup” is a Public Benefit Organization (pbo) according to Dutch law and registered in The Netherlands. We are recognized as a Charity (ANBI) by the Dutch Tax Office and donations can be tax free according to Dutch tax regulations.

EndPlasticSoup receives donations from a number of supporting Rotary Clubs around the world and individual donations. A large contribution has been received from RC Winschoten as the result of the Jigsaw Puzzle actions. Next to these the Board has successfully applied for District Grants.
The available budget is spent to:
In addition Club actions and projects can be rewarded by an EndPlasticSoup Grant or Award, and Club projects can be supported financially.
EndPlasticSoup draws up the annual accounts within five months of the end of the Rotary year (June 30) and publishes the annual report, including the annual accounts on the website – the latest on November 1 of any year. Even though the Board draws up an annual budget, the character of the activities implies that the Board reconsider the budget regularly, along with the development of projects and donations.
