The statutes _can_ be modified, but the bar for that is relatively
high (for good reasons), plus the changes must not modify the original
intends and purposes:
- § 14 (1): The Board of Directors can make changes to the Articles of
Association provided that the changes do not affect the foundation’s
goals and do not substantially alter the original design of the
foundation or facilitate the fulfillment of the foundation’s goals.
- and any change has to be ratified (in essence cross-checked to
fulfil the above requirements) by the foundation authorities
All the best,
