Hospice en vrijwilligers thuis Delft

What Hospice en vrijwilligers thuis Delft does

Hospice en VPTZ Delft (Stichting Hospice en VPTZ Delft) is a Dutch nonprofit palliative care organization headquartered at Vorrinkplein 602 in Delft. Founded in 1989 as VPTZ Delft (Vrijwilligers Palliatieve Terminale Zorg) and expanded in 2004 with a residential hospice, the organization provides end-of-life care and support to terminally ill individuals in their final three months of life, either in its 5-room hospice facility, at the patient's home, or in residential care centers in the Delft region. It is governed by a 5-member volunteer board and staffed operationally by 4 coordinators; clinical nursing is delivered through a 20-year partnership with Careyn.

Its core offering consists of three service lines: Hospice Delft (residential palliative care in a home-like "bijna-thuis-huis" setting), Thuisinzet (deployment of trained volunteers to patients' homes or care centers for companionship and caregiver respite), and the volunteer-led Bedside Singers Delft program. The organization does not operate any proprietary technology platform; service delivery is human-centric, supported by a WordPress-based website and the national zoekpalliatievezorg.nl availability registry. It is a member of VPTZ Nederland, participates in regional palliative care networks, and holds ANBI status (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) which enables tax-deductible donations.

Revenue is derived from two primary streams: a Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) subsidy covering coordination, volunteer training, and hospice housing, and donations channeled through the separate Stichting Vrienden foundation (one-time, recurring, periodic, and testamentary gifts). Medical costs are largely covered by health insurance; residents pay a personal contribution. The organization reports a 100% next-of-kin recommendation rate, but is capacity-constrained at 5 rooms — turning away a record 55 patients in 2022 — and is actively seeking a larger facility ahead of a forced 2025/2026 relocation from the Delfshove building.

Revenue model

1. Government Subsidy: The Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) provides a subsidy covering coordination costs, volunteer training, and housing. This subsidy does not cover all expenses, making the organization dependent on donations.
2. Donations and Fundraising: One-time donations via Tikkie or bank transfer; recurring donations (monthly, quarterly, or annual); periodic gifts (minimum 5-year commitment with tax deductibility benefits); testamentary bequests and legacies. The organization holds ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) status, enabling full income tax deductibility for donors.
