Goede Doelen Week Best

What Goede Doelen Week Best does

Goede Doelen Week Best is a Dutch non-profit foundation (stichting) established in 2020 and headquartered in Best, Netherlands. The foundation organizes a single annual door-to-door collection week each April that consolidates fundraising for 23 CBF-registered charities active in the Best municipality. Donors are residents of Best, and the foundation handles coordination, volunteer mobilization (over 300 volunteers), and distribution of proceeds to the participating charities, which include organizations spanning health, international aid, animal welfare, and disaster relief.

The operating model combines physical door-to-door collection during the April collection week with a year-round online donation capability built on WordPress, with iDEAL payments processed via Mollie at €0.50 per transaction. Email outreach runs through Mailchimp and site analytics through Google Analytics. The foundation holds ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) status, making donations tax-deductible, and itself is CBF-certified. Total cumulative collections from 2021 through 2026 amount to €538,070, with the 2026 week raising a record €95,913.

The foundation has zero paid employees and is entirely volunteer-operated, which constrains operating capacity but also keeps overhead minimal. Revenue mechanics are not revenue-generating in a commercial sense — the foundation passes collected donations through to the 23 partner charities, retaining only transaction fees and any modest overhead. The commercial footprint is strictly local to a single Dutch municipality, and the partnership with Rabobank ClubSupport provides an additional banking-channel fundraising route beyond physical solicitation and direct online giving.

Direct peers

• Stichting Goede Doelen Week (national platform): National umbrella organization for similar local Goede Doelen Week federated charity collections. Direct peer — same federated-collection model applied at different local sites across the Netherlands, including Best.
• Giro555: Dutch coordinated disaster-relief fundraising platform where multiple charities collect under one unified campaign. Same federated giving model as GDW Best but at national scale and disaster-specific rather than annual local general giving.
• Stichting Goede Doelen Helmond: Conceptually analogous local Goede Doelen Week-style federated collection in Helmond, Netherlands. Direct peer using the same multi-charity consolidated-collection format in a nearby municipality.

Broad incumbents

• Oranje Fonds: National Dutch community foundation supporting local volunteer initiatives and charity. Comparable as a large-scale community-giving intermediary, though broader in mission and national in scope versus GDW Best's hyper-local focus.

Others

• CBF (Centraal Bureau Fondsenwerving): Dutch regulator that awards the Erkend Goed Doel certification that all 23 GDW Best participating charities must hold. Indirectly comparable as a governing body in the Dutch charitable-giving ecosystem that defines trust standards for entities like GDW Best.

Regional players

• Rabobank ClubSupport: Rabobank's local community-funding program that distributes funds to clubs and charities based on member votes. GDW Best is itself a recipient (€314.23 in 2024); comparable as a channel for hyper-local charitable giving in the Netherlands.

Emerging players

• Stichting Nationaal Fonds Kinderhulp: One of the 23 participating charities in the GDW Best collection. Comparable as a Dutch charity that benefits from the federated collection, but operates at national scale rather than as a local collector.
• KWF Kankerbestrijding: Another of the 23 participating charities in the GDW Best collection. Comparable as a national Dutch health charity whose local door-to-door collections are now coordinated via GDW Best's federated model in this municipality.
