The Stichting INGKA Foundation is a Dutch foundation founded in 1982 by Ingvar Kamprad, the Swedish billionaire, who is the founder of IKEA. INGKA is one of the largest charitable foundations in the world and the largest nonprofit organization in the world. The name "INGKA" comes from a contraction of his name, while ''stichting'' is the Dutch language word for foundation. The stated purpose of the foundation is ''To promote and support innovation in the field of architectural and interior design''; however, the organization has recently expanded its philanthropic agenda to target children in the developing world. ==Overview== The foundation owns the private Dutch company INGKA Holding, based in Leiden, which is the holding company that controls 315 of the 360 outlets of IKEA.〔http://franchisor.ikea.com/FranchisingtheIKEAway/Pages/IKEA-franchisees.aspx〕 INGKA does ''not'' own the IKEA franchise and trademark; these are owned by Inter IKEA Systems B.V. in Delft, also in the Netherlands, which receives 3% of all IKEA revenues in royalties. Inter IKEA Systems is owned by Inter IKEA Holding, registered in Luxembourg, which is controlled, in turn, by Interogo Foundation, a Liechtenstein foundation that is also supported by the Kamprad family (to the value of $15 billion). In an explanation of IKEA's complex corporate structure, Ingvar Kamprad stated to the authors of a Swedish documentary that tax efficiency was "a natural part of the company's low-cost culture".〔 The foundation also provides an anti-takeover protection scheme for IKEA. The Dutch Tax Service has applied the "Institution for General Benefit" (''algemeen nut beogende instelling'', ANBI) status to the Stichting IKEA Foundation. According to the ANBI register in the Netherlands, Stichting INGKA Foundation lost ANBI status in 2010, but was registered as an ANBI from 01-01-2008 until 01-01-2010.
