ANNE FRANK-Fonds, Basle/Switzerland
The ANNE FRANK-Fonds (AFF) is a foundation under Swiss law domiciled in Basle. The AFF was established by Otto H. Frank on 24 January 1963 and is subject to supervision by the Federal Department of the Interior. A board of trustees serving in an honorary capacity acts on behalf of the Fonds. The accounts of the AFF are audited by a recognised firm of chartered accountants. The AFF is a charitable foundation and enjoys tax-free status.
The purpose of the AFF is to promote charitable work and to play a social and cultural role in the spirit of ANNE FRANK. It was a particular wish of the founder that the Fonds should contribute to better understanding between different religions, to serve the cause of peace between people and to encourage international contacts between the young.
As the sole surviving member of his family, and as sole heir of Annelies Marie Frank (ANNE FRANK), her father Otto H. Frank appointed the AFF his universal legatee and thereby assigned to it the rights to all the writings of ANNE FRANK. Similarly, all contracts entered into by Otto H. Frank to disseminate the works and message of his daughter devolved to the AFF on his death.
The AFF is legally and organisationally independent of other organsiations carrying on activities under the name of ANNE FRANK.
