What Stichting Presentie does

Stichting Presentie is a Dutch nonprofit foundation (Stichting) operating as a knowledge institute (kennisinstituut) dedicated to "presentie" (presence) and relational working in the healthcare and welfare sector. Based in Utrecht at Gebbbeberglaan 15, the organization was founded in 2004 and operates with a staff of 11-50 employees. Its core product is the Presentiebenadering (Presence Approach), a proprietary relational methodology that trains practitioners to engage with patients, clients, and care recipients through genuine availability and responsiveness rather than purely task-oriented service delivery. This methodology is delivered through structured educational programs (Basisscholing, Leergangen, and Thematische Modules), customized in-house organizational training (Aanbod op Maat), and a knowledge bank of publications and video recordings that codify the institute's practice-based research.

Commercially, Stichting Presentie generates revenue through professional services: open-enrollment courses sold to individual healthcare and welfare professionals, and tailored training engagements delivered on-site at care and welfare organizations across the Netherlands. The organization supplements instructor-led delivery with an interactive PDF resource (Presentiebenadering Interactief) and an e-commerce webshop for publications and course-related items. Its go-to-market is sales-led and domestic, relying on direct engagement via its website, newsletter, social channels (LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram), and public events. As an ANBI-registered foundation with no external investors, funding rounds, or parent entity, the organization's growth is reinvested into its educational and research mission rather than distributed to equity holders.
