Huis voor de Sport Limburg

What Huis voor de Sport Limburg does

Huis voor de Sport Limburg (legal entity: Stichting Huis voor de Sport Limburg) is a Dutch non-profit foundation established in 2002 and headquartered in Sittard, with a secondary office in Kerkrade. It operates as a knowledge, advisory, and execution organization for sport, exercise, and health across the province of Limburg, serving all 31 Limburg municipalities, sports federations, and societal organizations. Its mandate is to get Limburg residents moving and keep them moving, executing Sportakkoord and JOGG policy, supporting clubs with volunteer recruitment, membership retention, and sustainability, and running programs for seniors, people with disabilities, and children from low-income families.

The organization's portfolio spans advisory services, digital monitoring tools (Volg je Sportakkoord, De Vitale Club), training programs (Sport- en Beweegleider Senioren Opleiding, Ludus Zuid), the Verantwoord Verduurzamen sustainability program, and financial-accessibility services (Jeugdfonds and Volwassenenfonds Sport & Cultuur Limburg). It does not sell proprietary technology products; its digital tools are web-based dashboards for tracking sports agreements and club vitality. It operates the 'Het Huis' shared-services environment at Watersley Sports & Talentpark, hosting ten partner organizations under one roof and providing finance, HR, and housing back office.

Revenue derives from municipal contracts and government funding, including provincial subsidies, service contracts with the 31 Limburg municipalities, and project-specific grants from national bodies such as NOC*NSF and JOGG Nederland. The wholly-owned execution subsidiary The MoveFactory implements municipal sport policy in municipalities including Landgraaf, Kerkrade, Voerendaal, and (from September 2025) Brunssum. The organization is a member of Sportkracht12, the national association of the 12 Dutch provincial sports organizations.
