What Stichting KidzBase does
Stichting KidzBase is a Dutch charitable foundation (stichting) founded in 2012 in Maasbree, Limburg, Netherlands, that provides material and emotional support to approximately 225 displaced children (uitgeplaatste kinderen) aged 0-21 living in residential treatment groups (woon/behandelgroepen) and family homes (gezinshuizen) across the Noord- and Midden-Limburg region. The foundation runs roughly 15 small-scale programs, including KidzBase Shoppen (clothing shopping days), the Fietsenproject (bicycle provision), Zorgenvriendjes (handmade personalized comfort toys), Weekendje Weg (weekend getaways), Verjaardagsproject (birthday celebrations), Project Dekbedovertrek (personal duvet covers), Schoenenactie (shoe provision), Schooltassen (backpacks), Vakantiepakketten and Kerstpakketten (vacation and Christmas packages), Zelfstandigheidspakketten (independence packages for transitioning youth), Knipproject (haircuts), Doe een Wens (wish fulfillment), and Zwemles (swimming lessons). The foundation is no technology platform; its website is maintained by a third-party vendor (AppComm) and it has no app, API, or proprietary technology.
The business model is donation- and sponsorship-based, with no government subsidies. Revenue is assembled from corporate sponsors (e.g., Transvenlo, Avi Air Fresh, Smurfit Kappa, Geba Trans, Handelsbanken, Madolex, colorFabb), service clubs (Kiwanis, JCI), recurring charity-event partnerships (Venloop, generating roughly €3,000-€3,300 per year), in-kind donations from retailers (H&M Venlo, Intersport Roermond, vanHaren, Toverland, Speelpark Klein Zwisterland, Venlo on Ice), and one-off gifts from individuals, schools, restaurants, and small businesses. Distribution is hyperlocal and direct: KidzBase identifies needs through partner care institutions and delivers goods and experiences either on-site or via dedicated events. Operations are run by a single paid coordinator, Jessica Macciomei-Pelzer, supported by approximately 40 volunteers and founder Martin Frankort. The foundation explicitly restricts its geographic scope to North and Central Limburg, citing the impracticality of serving children outside its volunteer and care-institution network.
