Maatschappelijke Dienstverlening Flevoland

What Maatschappelijke Dienstverlening Flevoland does

MDF (Maatschappelijke Dienstverlening Flevoland) is a Dutch non-profit social services organization operating under ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) Public Benefit Organization status, registered with RSIN 008567190. The organization serves residents of three municipalities in Flevoland province — Lelystad, Dronten, and Zeewolde — providing an integrated suite of community support services across four core areas: Social Work (Sociaal Werk), Financial Counseling and Debt Assistance (Geldzaken), Youth and Family Services (Jeugd & Gezin), and Training & Workshops (Trainingen en Workshops). Services are delivered through scheduled appointments, walk-in consultation hours (spreekuren), structured group programs, community events, and partnerships with schools, healthcare providers, and other social organizations. MDF does not operate proprietary technology platforms; service delivery is people-intensive and channel-agnostic, with a website (mdflevoland.nl), newsletter, and the Lisa Lelystad sub-brand platform serving as primary digital touchpoints.

MDF's revenue model is exclusively government-funded through service contracts with the three commissioning municipalities — Lelystad, Dronten, and Zeewolde — which compensate the organization for delivered services. All offerings are provided free of charge to residents; there is no cost-sharing, fee-for-service, or commercial pricing. The organization holds sector-specific quality credentials that double as competitive barriers: Kwaliteitslabel Sociaal Werk from Sociaal Werk Nederland (certified January 2019), NVVK membership with triennial audits for debt assistance, Landelijk Kwaliteitsbureau CBM certification for protection administrators, and CCV recognition for neighborhood mediation in Dronten. MDF also leads the Lisa Lelystad consortium alongside GGD Flevoland, Icare JGZ, and MEE Samen, providing integrated parenting and youth support in Lelystad since 2021 and reaching a 5-year milestone in 2026.

The organization is governed by a Raad van Toezicht (Supervisory Board) and led by a Directeur-Bestuurder. As of July 1, 2026, Alinda Apperlo serves as acting CEO following the departure of Herma Hofmeijer, who left after approximately five years to become a wethouder (councilor) of the municipality of Lelystad. MDF has no subsidiaries, no parent company, no private equity involvement, and no fundraising rounds; it operates as a standalone ANBI non-profit within the Dutch social welfare sector, with operating geographies restricted to Flevoland province, Netherlands.
