Objection to rejection of ANBI status?

Questioner

We recently started a new initiative. The goal is to increase the nature connection of society, by helping people to feel connected to nature in daily life. A kind of Mindfulness, but not so much focused on yourself, but more on your relationship with your environment. We also applied for ANBI status, but to our surprise we were rejected, because our goal would not be for the general interest. Very strange to us, because the general interest, that people behave more sustainably in the context of challenges such as climate change is precisely our driving force! I'm afraid we need legal help. However, we've just started and don't have any resources yet (we've just started applying for funds, where the ANBI status is of course quite handy). Can you help us with this?

Good afternoon, Has an explanation been given for the rejection? Are all other conditions for ANBI status met? Please take into account the objection period of six weeks after receipt of the decision. My email address is jolien@advocatenkantoorstoffels.nl, I would be happy to see if I can help you further. Yours sincerely, Jolien
