Relocating an NGO
Belgian international nonprofit association (aisbl)
If you are considering relocating your US 501(c)(3) organization to another country, be aware that this is a lengthy process and you should consult legal advice. That said, a legal structure in the EU that is designed for international nonprofits and worth considering is the Belgian aisbl (association internationale sans but lucratif). While the aisbl's statutes need to be in French or Dutch, the association's working language can be English.
