I want to set up a charitable foundation in Jakarta to support education programs. I'm unsure about the registration steps, timelines, and whether board members must be Indonesian citizens. What are the ongoing reporting obligations and costs after registration?

To establish a foundation, you need to prepare documents, draft a Deed of Establishment at a notary (including a name check on AHU Online), submit a request for approval to the Ministry of Law (Kemenkum) (usually through a notary), and obtain a Decree (SK) from the Ministry of Law and an announcement in the State Gazette. Key preparations include identifying documents for the foundation's organ (Founder, Patron, Manager, Supervisor) and proof of initial assets of at least IDR 10 miliion.
