PLATONIQ FOUNDATION is a nonprofit foundation registered with the Ministry of Culture’s Registry of Foundations under registration number 1438, with tax ID number G57728172.

• Registration Certificate

Our headquarters are located at CALLE FORN DE L’OLIVERA 22, 07012 PALMA (BALEARIC ISLANDS), although you can also find us at our BARCELONA office, located at CANODROM - Ateneu d’Innovació Digital i Democràtica, and in MADRID.

The Foundation’s initial endowment was 30,050 euros from ASOCIACIÓN PLATONIQ- SISTEMA CULTURAL, as recorded in the Foundation’s corporate documents.

• Articles of Incorporation of the Fuentes Abiertas Foundation

Since its incorporation on September 30, 2011, the Foundation has been growing and expanding its activities, leading to substantial changes in both its internal structure and its public image.

Thus, on February 27, 2015, we left behind our original name, FUNDACIÓN FUENTES ABIERTAS, and changed our name to FUNDACIÓN GOTEO, in order to honor one of our major annual activities: the crowdfunding platform for social impact projects GOTEO.ORG.

• Deed of Name Change to Fundación Goteo

Six years later, in 2021, the Foundation’s Board of Trustees decided to take another step forward. It resolved to dissolve the PLATONIQ-SISTEMA CULTURAL ASSOCIATION and have the Foundation take over its activities, thereby absorbing the staff and operations that had previously been carried out by the founding entity.

Consequently, on September 8, 2021, the Foundation was renamed FUNDACIÓN PLATONIQ.

• Deed of ratification of the name change and bylaws of the Platoniq Foundation

These substantial changes have broadened the Foundation’s scope of action. According to its bylaws, the Foundation’s current purposes are as follows: *“*Artículo 4. Fines

To promote and develop initiatives in the cooperative, social, and solidarity economy through open technologies, innovation, access to financing, and community building, driving social and cultural change toward a more ethical and collaborative society.
