Stichting Leergeld Tilburg

What Stichting Leergeld Tilburg does

Stichting Leergeld Tilburg is a Dutch nonprofit foundation (stichting) founded in 1996 and headquartered in Tilburg, North Brabant, Netherlands. It operates as a volunteer-driven charitable organization delivering in-kind material and financial support to children aged 4-18 from families with disposable income up to 130% of the Dutch welfare level, serving the municipalities of Tilburg, Berkel-Enschot, Biezenmortel, and Udenhout. The foundation is part of a national network of more than 110 local Leergeld foundations covering 75% of Dutch municipalities and affiliated with the Vereniging van Stichtingen Leergeld in Nederland. Nationally, the network supported over 181,000 children with €37M+ in 2023.

The organization's service portfolio spans four categories: Education (school supplies, gym clothing, laptops), Sports (membership contributions and equipment), Culture (membership contributions, equipment, swimming lessons), and Wellbeing (clothing, bicycles, birthday boxes via Jarige Job). All assistance is delivered in-kind and paid directly to schools, clubs, or service providers — no cash transfers to families. Distribution is conducted through a network of 110+ volunteers who conduct home visits for new applicants, weekly walk-in consultations at 15+ neighborhood locations, and referrals from intermediaries (schools, social services, debt counseling, combinatiefunctionarissen). The organization is governed by an unpaid board, operates with a 4 FTE paid staff (coordinator Helma Oostelbos plus office manager) under the CAO Welzijn en Maatschappelijke Dienstverlening, and holds ANBI status making donations tax-deductible.

The revenue model consists of donations from individuals, businesses, religious and social institutions, service clubs, structural subsidies from Gemeente Tilburg, and legacy gifts. The organization has no proprietary technology platform, no mobile application, and no disclosed AI capabilities; case management and eligibility assessment are handled manually. Strategic partnerships include Gemeente Tilburg (structural subsidy and T-Kindpakket coordination), Stichting Digidromen (digital learning devices, signed June 2024), Stichting Jarige Job (birthday boxes, 2018 covenant), and the Aat-samenwerking consortium with multiple Tilburg social services organizations. Annual reports are published on the website but specific revenue figures are not publicly disclosed.
