Stichting Kanjers voor Kanjers

What Stichting Kanjers voor Kanjers does

Stichting Kanjers voor Kanjers is a Dutch charitable foundation (Stichting) founded in 2009 and headquartered in Aalten, Netherlands. The foundation's stated mission is to generate resources through sport and play in support of children's welfare, with particular focus on enabling sports and recreational participation, operationalized against Article 31 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Its beneficiary population consists of children in the Achterhoek region who lack resources for sports and play due to household financial constraints, as well as chronically ill children, children with disabilities, and children unable to live at home. The foundation serves both individual children and groups through a formal project-application intake ('Projectaanvragen').

The foundation operates an event-based fundraising model, organizing a portfolio of recurring sporting events that include the Kanjer Mountain Challenge, Kanjer Dirt Challenge, Kanjer G-toernooi, Kanjer Sport Event, Kanjerfestijn, and Kanjer Jeugdclinics. Proceeds from these events, together with donations from individuals and businesses, are channeled into grants for children's sports and play projects in the Achterhoek region, with the foundation claiming 100% of funds are directed to local children's projects. Its distribution and donor-engagement channels comprise a Perry-built website (stichtingkanjersvoorkanjers.nl), Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn pages, alongside a formalized 'Sponsoren' and 'Maatschappelijk partners' corporate partnership program. The foundation employs approximately 6 staff and operates with volunteer support.

There is no commercial product, no proprietary technology platform, no AI/ML capability, and no disclosed revenue or pricing model. The organization's assets are its recurring event portfolio, its regional community and sponsor relationships, and its reputational positioning around local child welfare. No funding rounds, acquisitions, subsidiaries, leadership disclosures, or regulatory actions are present in the available source material.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Jeugdsportfonds: Dutch national fund that finances sports participation for children from low-income families — the closest direct peer to Kanjers voor Kanjers in mission and beneficiary segment, though operating at national scale versus Kanjers' regional Achterhoek focus.
• Nationaal Fonds Kinderhulp: Dutch national fund focused on children in poverty, illness, or difficult home situations — highly comparable beneficiary focus and act of providing direct individual grants to children, similar to Kanjers' projectaanvragen model.
• Spieren voor Spieren: Dutch foundation raising funds for children with muscular diseases, primarily through sporting events and active community fundraising — closely comparable in operating model (sport events funding children's welfare) and beneficiary profile (children with medical conditions).
• Stichting Leergeld: National Dutch foundation supporting children from low-income families to participate in school, sports, and cultural activities — directly comparable mission (poverty → access to play, sport, and development) with a similar local volunteer chapter model.
• Kika (Stichting Kinderen Kankervrij): Dutch foundation with strong event-driven fundraising model (sporting events, community activities) supporting chronically ill children — comparable in fundraising technique and in supporting children with serious illness, though focused on cancer specifically.
• CliniClowns: Dutch charity that supports chronically ill and disabled children through play and joy — strongly comparable to Kanjers' focus on chronically ill children and children with disabilities, with a comparable donor-funded, project-based delivery model.

Broad incumbents

• NOC*NSF: Dutch Olympic and sports federation; a broad incumbent in the Dutch sports ecosystem that channels funds and promotes sport participation, including for youth — overlaps with Kanjers' sport-for-children mission at a much larger, federated scale.
• UNICEF Nederland: Dutch national committee of UNICEF, which grounds its child rights work in the same UN Convention on the Rights of the Child that Kanjers cites (Article 31) — a broader incumbent in the child welfare and rights space.
• SOS Kinderdorpen Nederland: Dutch arm of SOS Children's Villages, supporting children who cannot live at home — directly comparable to one of Kanjers' named beneficiary groups (children unable to live at home), though operating at much larger international scale.

Regional players

• Stichting Jarige Job: Dutch foundation supporting children in poverty (specifically birthday packages) — comparable in mission (children in financial hardship) and Dutch nonprofit structure, though with a different intervention focus versus Kanjers' sports/play model.
