What Fonds Slachtofferhulp does

Fonds Slachtofferhulp is an independent Dutch charitable foundation (Stichting) founded in 1989 and headquartered in The Hague, with a staff of 38. It does not deliver frontline victim services itself; instead, it functions as a knowledge centre and intermediary funder for victims of crime, accidents, disasters, online criminality, sexual violence, child abuse and medical incidents in the Netherlands. Its core activities are emergency financial aid (Noodhulpfonds, up to €1,000 per client, accessible via professional referral), project financing/grants to non-profits and universities, longitudinal and applied research (notably the VICTIMS study via Centerdata and the LISS panel), advocacy for victims' legal rights, and the operation of specialised information and self-help platforms — Slachtofferwijzer.nl for general victim guidance, WTFFF.nl for youth affected by online sexual abuse, and rouwbehandeling.nl for complicated grief. The foundation publishes a quarterly magazine and runs seven policy programmes covering sexual violence, traffic accidents, violent crimes, online sexual abuse, environmental crime, child abuse and online criminality.

The underlying technology is a portfolio of conventional web platforms and content sites rather than proprietary systems; the 'core' is the foundation's network of academic and clinical partners (Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, Universiteit Utrecht, Universiteit Twente, Hogeschool Saxion, De Haagse Hogeschool, UMC Utrecht, Centerdata, NSCR, Netwerk Traumatisch Verlies, Centrum Seksueel Geweld) that co-produce research and service delivery. The foundation holds CBF Erkend Goed Doel and ANBI certifications and has no app, no public API, and no disclosed AI/ML components.

Its business model is donation-driven: individual one-time and recurring gifts (suggested €8/€12/€20/€35/€75 tiers and monthly subscriptions), corporate donations, fixed-beneficiary lottery income from Postcode Loterij and VriendenLoterij (which allocate ~40% of ticket proceeds to good causes), and targeted programme co-funding such as €250,000/year from the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security for the online-criminality research programme. The foundation explicitly receives no government subsidy for general operations and is entirely dependent on private contributions. Customer segments include victims and survivors, victim-support professionals, companies/employers, educational institutions, and individual donors; beneficiary demand is broad, with over 1.5 million Dutch people becoming victims of crime, accident or disaster annually and more than 2 million affected by online crime.

Product overview

Fonds Slachtofferhulp is an independent Dutch charitable foundation (ANBI/CBF-recognised) that does not provide direct victim assistance but operates a layered portfolio of information platforms, emergency financial aid, publications, and funded research programmes.

The organisation also funds a broad project financing programme and maintains a family of policy programmes covering Sexual Violence, Traffic Accidents, Violent Crimes, Online Sexual Abuse, Environmental Crime, Child Abuse, and Online Criminality, each underpinning multiple externally-conducted research and project initiatives (e.g., VICTIMS longitudinal study, TrafVic, Thrive, diary research on child abuse, diary research on online sexual abuse). The portfolio is tied together by its knowledge-centre role, publishing research to strengthen victims' legal position and psychosocial support in the Netherlands.
