EFFoST's activities are run through a non-profit foundation, which was established in June 1999 under the laws of the Netherlands. The foundation is governed by the Board.

The Board consists of the officers (President, President-Elect, General Secretary, Treasurer and Past-President) and additional members of member organisations and has received delegated powers from the General Assembly. The General Assembly is made up of nominated delegates from the European IUFoST adhering bodies and has final authority with respect to all general matters of policy for, and action by, EFFoST.

An elaborate description can be found in our constitution.
