Do you recognize the compliance stress?
Charities in the broadest sense of the word have in recent years come under ever-increasing public scrutiny. Various stakeholders and regulatory bodies demand insight, oversight, transparency from your organisation, leading to ever-longer compliance check lists. This puts considerable pressure on voluntary boards and the organisations themselves; not being on top of one’s own affairs, can cause significant reputational damage. You thus find yourself spending a disproportionate amount of time and resources tackling these hurdles and jumping through hoops. But you probably didn’t raise your hand to become a board member for box ticking duties only; you want to let your mission thrive. Luckily good advice and support doesn’t always come at high cost.
This is what makes Orchestra The charity supporter throughout The Netherlands

Transparancy: one fixed, annual fee

For an association like ours, this should be top notch, our members are entitled to it. Such an administrative organisation requires a lot of time and energy, but we wanted to spend ours on our core task: advocacy and active association with our members. In Orchestra we found the perfect partner.

The affiliated foundation Vrijvrouwe van Renswoude awards scholarships and interest-free loans to hundreds of students. We do this at the lowest possible costs with a voluntary board and just three employees who focus on the core tasks of both foundations. Orchestra in this respect, is an essential partner, supporting us with daily accounting tasks, weekly payments, our grant administrations and our annual accounts.
