What Stichting De Linde does

Stichting De Linde is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting) founded in 2002 and headquartered in Hoofddorp, Netherlands. It provides integrated ambulatory care, specialized GGZ (mental health) treatment, and modular WLZ home care packages for independently living adults with complex care needs, including mild intellectual disabilities (VG), psychiatric conditions, and chronic psychosocial challenges. The organization operates a "1 loket" (single point of contact) model through a layered partner network of sub-brands: Lindezorg (community-based ambulatory support, acquired in 2021), De Portuur (experiential experts), Tamarinde (HBO/WO student caregivers), Specialistenhulp (collective of freelance psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, VG doctors, and psychotherapists), Stichting CollegeReeks (free professional education), Buurtcoöperatie (neighborhood cooperative), and TIBU (healthcare registration). The organization serves approximately 600 households across 13 municipalities in Haarlemmermeer, Haarlem, IJmond, Alkmaar, and Zandvoort, with a workforce of approximately 200 employees.

Revenue is generated entirely through contract-based agreements with Dutch healthcare purchasers: municipalities under the WMO (Social Support Act), healthcare insurers under the Zorgverzekeringswet (Health Insurance Law), and care offices under the WLZ (Long-term Care Act). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is reimbursement-driven rather than market-priced. The technology stack is operational rather than transformational: a NEN7510-certified client tracking system (provided by TIBU.nu) for care registration, documentation, and billing, and AFAS for financial administration. The organization holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (LRQA, 2023) and maintains a Data Protection Officer (Functionaris Gegevensbescherming) role. Stichting De Linde functions as a coordinating hub within a web of non-profit sister organizations, with Walter Jong identified as a departmental manager and Machiel van der Werff serving as the Data Protection Officer.
