Janivo Holding B.V

What Janivo Holding B.V does

Janivo Holding B.V is the legal holding entity through which Janivo Stichting, a Dutch charitable foundation (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling, ANBI), is governed. The foundation was established in 1979 by attorney and entrepreneur mr. J.H. de Pont (1915-1987) to provide financial support to third-party projects in the Netherlands serving children, youth, and young adults aged 0 to 30. Janivo Stichting operates three programmatic pillars: Society (Maatschappij) projects supporting vulnerable youth across protection and care, social participation, economic participation, and education; Arts (Kunst) projects supporting performing arts for and by young people, including a dedicated fast-track program (Snelloket Jonge Makers) for recently graduated theater and dance makers; and Scientific Medical Research grants supporting applied research at Dutch university medical centers into rare diseases in children and young adults.

The foundation's product offering is structured as five grant application tracks. Standard regular donations range from €1,000 to €6,000 per project for society or arts initiatives. The Snelloket Jonge Makers program provides €2,000 to €4,000 plus business advisory to young makers within five years of graduation and under 30 years old. Scientific Medical Research grants range from €5,000 to €40,000 per project, with applications due by mid-September and decisions issued in December. Organizations are typically supported for up to three years with a cap of one application per organization per year. Grant decisions for medical research are supported by a Scientific Advisory Committee chaired by prof.dr. A.T. van der Ploeg (Erasmus MC) with members from LUMC and UMCG; societal and arts decisions are made directly by the board.

The business model is endowment-based rather than commercial. Investment returns on a self-managed endowment under an Investment Statute that incorporates social and sustainability considerations fund both the annual donation budget (€1,000,000–€1,500,000, with €1,425,000 budgeted for 2026, allocated 55% to society, 30% to arts, and 15% to medical research) and organizational costs (€395,000 plus €55,000 for asset management). The foundation is governed by a six-member board (with one current secretary vacancy, currently filled on an acting basis by C.L. de Pont) and operated by a three-person bureau led by director Eric Rijnders. Janivo Stichting is a member of the Vereniging van Fondsen in Nederland (FIN) and complies with the FIN Code Good Governance, submitting an annual declaration of compliance (most recently for 2025).
