Fonds Kind & Handicap

What Fonds Kind & Handicap does

Fonds Kind & Handicap is a Dutch charitable foundation (Stichting) headquartered in The Hague, Netherlands, founded in 1989 under the original name Stichting Nationaal Fonds Het Gehandicapte Kind (Stinafo) and rebranded to its current name in 2019. The foundation's core function is providing direct financial assistance and program support to children and young people (up to approximately 25 years) with physical or intellectual disabilities or chronic illnesses in the Netherlands, with ancillary projects in the Dutch Caribbean (Aruba, Curaçao, Suriname) and Indonesia (Bali). Its core service offerings include individual assistance grants for mobility aids (notably wheelchair-accessible buses), specialized therapies, learning and assistive devices, and assistance dogs, alongside community programs such as the annual Familiedag at Duinrell, Dierentuindag at DierenPark Amersfoort, Funrun4all inclusive running event, Strandsportdag beach sports days, and educational partnerships including the monthly Jong010 children's newspaper page in Rotterdam. The foundation holds ANBI and CBF certifications, providing regulatory credibility and enabling tax-deductible donations.

The foundation operates a non-commercial, donation-based revenue model with no pricing tiers for beneficiaries. Revenue is generated entirely from one-time and recurring donations via its own giving portal (fondskindenhandicap.givingpage.org) and third-party platforms (Whydonate, Geef.nl), corporate sponsorships, VriendenLoterij lottery proceeds, individual fundraising activities (charity walks, beach runs, rowing marathons), and project-specific donations such as the 'Geef een Knuffel' weighted plush toy (Lotgenootje) starting at €5. The go-to-market is direct-to-beneficiary and direct-to-donor: families apply through an online quickscan, schools and organizations submit project applications, and the foundation recruits donors via social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube), newsletters, and recurring events. The organization is led by Chairman Nico Teunissen and operates with 8 employees, suggesting a lean, partnership-heavy operating model that relies on a broad ecosystem of corporate sponsors, venue partners, and peer nonprofit organizations to deliver programs at scale.
