The Ried fan de Fryske Beweging RfdFB , or Council of the Frisian Movement, is an organisation of people who have a keen interest in, and want to support, Frisia , the Frisian languages , and Frisian culture. It is an independent not profit foundation uniting several member organisations, and is supported by volunteers, and more than 500 donors. History The Foundation nonprofit organization foundation Ried fan de Fryske Beweging was established in 1945 as an umbrella organisation for several smaller Frisian organisations It Selskip foar Fryske Tael en Skriftekennisse , It Kristlik Frysk Selskip , it Roomsk Frysk Boun and it Frysk Boun om Utens . The idea to have one organ to talk with governments, politicians and institutions came to life after World War II. One of the main objectives was legal recognition of the Frisian language within the Netherlands. The Netherlands Dutch government had created very little legislation concerning the Frisian language up to then. The umbrella structure allowed people to contribute to the effort as a whole as donors, or by joining one of the member organisations. The board of the Council is made up of representatives from each of the member organisations, as well as some board members who are chosen by the donors. Since 2005, the Ried fan de Fryske Beweging has drawn in further member organisations.
