Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• 's Heeren Loo: One of the largest Dutch disability care providers, offering a broad portfolio across intellectual disability, autism and complex care. Comparable because it serves the same client segments, depends on Wlz funding, and works with the same municipal buyers that MEE GP supports via wijkteams.
• Philadelphia Zorg: Large Dutch care provider offering support and housing to people with (intellectual) disabilities across multiple regions. Comparable as a nonprofit organization funded via Wlz/long-term care frameworks serving an overlapping disability population, though operating at the direct-care delivery end of the continuum rather than independent client support.
• Koraal Groep: Dutch care organization providing disability, youth and behavioural healthcare services across multiple regions. Comparable as a Wlz-funded nonprofit operating in disability care with similar policy and funding environment, providing a useful scale benchmark for MEE GP's expert and project work.
• MEE NL: National umbrella network that coordinates and advocates for the regional MEE organizations, including MEE Gelderse Poort. Operates the same model of onafhankelijke cliëntondersteuning at national scale and shares many municipal and funding relationships, making it the most direct strategic peer.

Regional players

• Cordaan: Amsterdam-based Dutch care provider serving elderly, disabled and youth populations with a mix of housing, care and advisory services. Comparable as a Wmo/Wlz-funded Dutch nonprofit offering overlapping disability and social support services, though concentrated in a different geography.

Emerging players

• Ieder(in): Dutch network of people with disabilities and chronic conditions and their advocates. Comparable as a nonprofit operating in the same disability and chronic illness support space, with significant interaction with municipal policy and Wmo implementation in the Netherlands.
• Per Saldo: Dutch advocacy organization for people with chronic illness or disability, particularly around personal budgets (pgb) under Wmo/Wlz. Comparable as a nonprofit providing independent support and advice on navigating Dutch disability systems to similar client segments.
• Mezzo: National Dutch association supporting informal caregivers (mantelzorgers), with information, advice and peer support services. Comparable as a nonprofit offering independent advice and support to families and caregivers of vulnerable people — a direct adjacency to MEE GP's family/caregiver support segment.
