You can verify European Center for Electoral Support/centre Europeen D’appui Electoral/centro Europeo di Assistenza Elettorale's legal status in three ways. First, look up the KBO record directly: https://kbopub.economie.fgov.be/kbopub/zoeknummerform.html and enter 0829.998.514 (or 0829998514). The result page shows the official name, legal form, address, status, and registration date. Second, look up the most recent annual accounts at the National Bank of Belgium Central Balance Sheet Office (https://consult.cbso.nbb.be/consult-enterprise) using the same KBO number - Belgian non-profits above the small-association threshold (around €312,000 in revenue, or any with paid staff) are legally required to file there each year. Third, every legal-form change, board appointment, statute amendment, dissolution and registration appears as a public notice in the Moniteur belge / Belgisch Staatsblad (https://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be) - searchable by KBO number. If those three sources agree on name, address and current legal form, the organisation is legitimate.
You can donate to European Center for Electoral Support/centre Europeen D’appui Electoral/centro Europeo di Assistenza Elettorale directly through its donation page (https://www.eces.eu/support-us).
