Stichting Leergeld Land van Cuijk

What Stichting Leergeld Land van Cuijk does

Stichting Leergeld Land van Cuijk is a Dutch charitable foundation (Stichting) registered in the Netherlands with ANBI (public benefit organization) status (RSIN 8181.94.145), operating in the Land van Cuijk municipality since 2021. The foundation supports children aged 4–18 from families with household income up to 130% of the Dutch social assistance level, by funding and providing access to sports, cultural, educational, and welfare activities. It operates as one of more than 110 local foundations affiliated with the national Vereniging Leergeld Nederland umbrella, headquartered at Grotestraat 62, 5431 DL Cuijk.

The organization's service model is process-driven rather than technology-driven. Families submit applications through the website; a trained volunteer intermediary conducts a home visit to assess financial circumstances; a coordinator reviews and approves the application; and payments are made directly to clubs, schools, and retailers — never to the family. The service portfolio spans 17+ specific offerings across four domains: education (school supplies as HEMA gift cards, laptops/iPads, family computers, graphing calculators, Squla online learning subscriptions), sports (swimming lessons, club memberships, sports equipment, sports camps/scouting up to €100, school sports clothing), culture (music, dance, musical lessons, instrument orientation, general musical education), and welfare (bicycles via partnered shops, Jarige Job birthday boxes, VOG declarations for vocational internships, practical-lesson supplies). Case management runs on the shared Lisy 2021 registration system. The foundation has no paid staff and operates with approximately 18 municipally-funded volunteers.

Funding is grant-and-donation-based and entirely non-commercial: recurring support from the Gemeente Land van Cuijk, corporate CSR contributions (Contiweb, Steenhouwerij Smits, Probroed & Sloot), service-club fundraising (Kiwanis €10,000 in 2024, Ladies' Circle €8,568 in 2023, Ronde Tafel, Zangkoor Juvia, Olympia '18 across multiple years, Vereniging Personeelsmanagement €3,500 in 2024), and individual or memorial donations. Beneficiary outcomes scaled from 210 families in 2021 to 354 families and 607 children in 2024, with 592 children from 309 families served in 2025 against a 640-child target. The foundation runs an annual seasonal closure (13 July–23 August) during which applications are not processed.

Core offering

Stichting Leergeld Land van Cuijk is a volunteer-run charitable foundation that helps children aged 4–18 from low-income families in the Land van Cuijk municipality participate in sports, culture, education, and well-being activities. Eligible families apply via the website, are visited at home by a trained volunteer intermediary to assess financial need, and — if approved — Leergeld pays clubs, associations, schools, and retailers directly. The foundation never gives cash to families, ensuring funds are spent on intended activities such as swimming lessons, sports memberships, laptops, bicycles, school supplies, and birthday boxes.

Broad incumbents

• Stichting Kinderpostzegels: Large Dutch ANBI foundation financing and advocating for vulnerable children in the Netherlands. Operates in the same child-welfare/child-poverty space with a broader programmatic scope and significantly larger budget, serving as a high-level comparable.
• Vereniging Leergeld Nederland: National umbrella association uniting 110+ local Leergeld foundations including Leergeld Land van Cuijk. Operates the shared brand, policy framework, and Lisy case-management system, and provides central advocacy and funder relationships. Most directly comparable as the parent structure.
• Nationaal Fonds Kinderhulp: National Dutch fund providing direct individual grants to children in poverty for clothing, holidays, school supplies, and activities. Substantial overlap in mission and beneficiary base with Leergeld, with a longer national track record.
• Stichting Het Vergeten Kind: National Dutch charity focused on children growing up in unsafe or unstable family situations. Comparable in mission area (vulnerable children) and operating model (donor-funded, project-based support), though it targets a different sub-segment of child welfare.
• Leger des Heils (Salvation Army) Netherlands: International charitable organization operating in the Netherlands with social welfare, family support, and child-focused programs. Comparable in providing direct social assistance to vulnerable families, though at much larger scale and broader scope.

Direct peers

• Stichting Jarige Job: National Dutch charity providing birthday boxes (treats, decorations, gifts) to children from families in financial difficulty. Leergeld Land van Cuijk distributes Jarige Job boxes as part of its service portfolio, making it a tightly coupled partner and peer.
• Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur: National Dutch fund that pays sports and cultural participation costs directly to clubs/providers for children from low-income families. Leergeld explicitly coordinates with Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur to maximize coverage, making it the closest mission-aligned peer.

Emerging players

• Armoedefonds: National Dutch fund that finances local initiatives against poverty, including child poverty. Comparable as a national grantmaking and program-funding intermediary for poverty-related causes in the Netherlands.
• Voedselbanken Nederland: National network of Dutch food banks supporting families in financial difficulty. Operates in the same referral ecosystem (families facing poverty) as Leergeld, with comparable local-chapter structure and donor-funded model, though focused on food rather than participation.

Regional players

• Stichting Babyspullen: National Dutch charity providing baby starter kits to expectant parents in financial difficulty. Comparable as a donor-funded ANBI organization supporting low-income families with children, though focused on a narrower neonatal segment.
