Ocena rządowego projektu ustawy o fundacji rodzinnej (druk nr 2798)

The bill provides for the introduction into the Polish legal order of a new private law institution, i.e. the family foundation, the aim of which is to accumulate family wealth allowing capital to be retained in the country for many generations and increasing the potential for domestic investment. The beneficiaries of the foundation can be natural persons (including the founder) and non-governmental organisations carrying out public benefit activities, specified in the statutes by the founder. The bill also sets out mechanisms for the termination of a family foundation and its liquidation, which are similar to the solutions known in commercial companies’ law.
