Cultuur Inclusief

What Cultuur Inclusief does

Cultuur-Inclusief (legal name Stichting Cultuur-Inclusief) is a Dutch non-profit foundation established in 2019 in Eindhoven, Noord-Brabant, Netherlands. It operates as a voucher-based cultural-access program for residents with limited financial means, issuing waardebonnen (vouchers) priced at €2.50 each with a face value of €25, redeemable at physical box offices of nearly all major cultural institutions in Eindhoven — including Parktheater, Van Abbemuseum, Effenaar, Muziekgebouw, Dynamo, Philips Museum, DAF Museum, Prehistorisch Dorp, Bibliotheek Eindhoven, STRP, Natlab, LAB-1, Pand P, Next Nature Museum, and others. Members are limited to a maximum of six vouchers per year, valid for three months after receipt, providing up to €150 of cultural-access value per member annually at 10% of normal ticket price.

The foundation runs a small, web-based administrative platform for membership registration, eligibility verification, voucher ordering, and postal distribution of physical vouchers; the technology layer is operational rather than differentiated, and no proprietary software products, APIs, or data assets are documented. Eligibility is established either through a network of selecteurs — staff and volunteers embedded in social-service organizations including WIJeindhoven, LiNCK, Stichting Ik Wil, Humanitas, Werkplaats Financiën, Stichting Solidair, and Sociale Raadslieden — or through affiliation with municipal programs (Meedoen bijdrage) and partner organizations such as Stichting Leergeld, Kledingbank, Voedselbank, Quiet, and Bibliotheek Eindhoven.

The foundation holds ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) status under Dutch tax law (RSIN 8605 40 625), making donations tax-deductible. Revenue is diversified across four streams: member voucher purchases (€2.50 per voucher), private donations, corporate donations, and voluntary contributions collected via QR code or collection boxes at partner venues. The organization is explicitly not dependent on structural government subsidies, having deliberately moved away from the modest initial municipal startup funding provided at founding. Governance is provided by an unpaid three-person board — Hans Raaijmakers (Voorzitter), Loes Vialle (Secretaris), and Piet van Steensel (Penningmeester) — supported by 7 staff and a public-ambassador network including Eric van Schagen (CEO Simac, VNO-NCW Brabant), Albert Kivits (Bibliotheek Eindhoven), and Jos van der Hulst (De Klerk).

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Museumkaart: National Dutch museum access pass offering unlimited entry to participating museums. Comparable as a broad cultural-access subscription product, though commercial and museum-only rather than Cultuur-Inclusief's charity-based, multi-discipline approach.

Regional players

• Kunstgebouw: Dutch regional cultural organization promoting arts and culture participation across South Holland. Comparable mission of broadening cultural access, though regionally focused and broader in programming scope.

Emerging players

• Bibliotheek Eindhoven: Local Eindhoven library and partner of Cultuur-Inclusief, with overlapping mission of broadening cultural access for residents including low-income groups. Adjacent rather than directly competing, but operates overlapping cultural-participation programs.

Direct peers

• Nationaal Ouderenfonds: Dutch national foundation supporting elderly well-being including cultural and social activities. Comparable ANBI-registered foundation model delivering subsidized cultural/social access to vulnerable populations.
• Stichting Leergeld: Dutch foundation network providing financial support to low-income families for children's educational, cultural, and sports activities. Directly comparable: same low-income target demographic, voucher/subsidy-style funding mechanism, and referral partnerships with Cultuur-Inclusief.
• Stichting Present: Dutch foundation mobilizing volunteers to support low-income and socially isolated individuals. Comparable small-team, volunteer-driven, low-income-support foundation with regional chapters across the Netherlands.
• Voedselbank: Dutch food bank foundation serving low-income households. Comparable target demographic and referral partnership role with Cultuur-Inclusief; differs in providing food rather than cultural access but operates the same volunteer-led, donation-funded model.
• Stichting Quiet: Dutch foundation supporting people dealing with loneliness and financial hardship through community-based services and cultural access. Comparable as a fellow Eindhoven-region low-income support foundation that overlaps with Cultuur-Inclusief's target demographic and partner network.
• CJP (Cultureel Jongeren Paspoort): Dutch cultural discount pass for youth offering reduced-price access to cultural events, museums, and venues. Comparable cultural-access voucher/pass model, though commercial and youth-targeted rather than charity-based.
• JeugdCultuurFonds: Dutch national fund providing cultural participation vouchers to children from low-income families. Closely comparable model: subsidy-funded cultural access, partnership with cultural institutions, and ANBI status. Differs in being youth-focused and nationally funded.
