NNID

What NNID does

Stichting NNID is a Dutch nonprofit foundation (stichting) established in 2013 and headquartered in Nijmegen, Netherlands. It operates as the recognized expert center on sex diversity (seksediversiteit) and intersex issues in the Netherlands, serving intersex individuals, their families, healthcare professionals, educators, and policymakers. The organization is led by and for intersex persons, with a small core team supplemented by interns and volunteers, and is funded primarily through institutional grants rather than commercial revenue.

NNID's core activities center on advocacy, education, knowledge dissemination, and community empowerment. Its principal digital asset is the seksediversiteit.nl platform, which functions as a public knowledge base on intersex topics. The organization runs structured multi-year programs (such as the {i}nclusief project launched in 2024), produces educational and cultural outputs (including the 'I' ON SCREEN Intersex Film Festival), and engages in policy advocacy at both national and EU levels. Revenue mechanics are grant-driven, drawing from Dutch government subsidies, EU programs (notably the REC Programme 2014-2020), Ministry of Foreign Affairs project funding, and private foundation support. There is no commercial product line or transactional revenue model.
