Stichting RAGweek Nijmegen

What Stichting RAGweek Nijmegen does

Stichting RAGweek Nijmegen is a Dutch foundation (Stichting) that organizes an annual week of student-led charitable activities in Nijmegen, currently operating under its 19th board (XIXe bestuur) for the 2025/2026 cycle. The organization's core offering is the annual RAGweek, a coordinated program of parties, borrels, cultural and sporting events (including stiletto runs, techno parties, and finger-paint workshops) staged jointly with studenten-, studie-, sport- and cultuurverenigingen in Nijmegen. Each year the board selects one national and one international good cause as beneficiary — for 2026, De Special Social Club and Books Away From Home respectively — and channels funds raised through events and ancillary programming to those causes.

The foundation is operated entirely by student volunteers under a six-person board structure (Voorzitter, Secretaris, Penningmeester, and three Commissioners covering sponsoring, associations, and activities & PR), with broader volunteer support year-round. Governance oversight is provided by a Raad van Toezicht (Supervisory Board), Raad van Advies (Advisory Board), and Comité van Aanbeveling (Committee of Recommendation). Beyond the event week, the organization runs supplemental fundraising activities such as the grasmaaiborrel and operates a merchandise sub-brand, the RAGwinkel, selling RAGbier and RAGacties items.

Revenue mechanics rely on five streams: corporate sponsoring (managed by the Commissaris Sponsoring), direct donations, an annual lottery with prizes secured through sponsors, activity participation fees, and RAGbier/RAGacties merchandise sales. Distribution is direct, in-person at venues across Nijmegen during the event and via the website (ragweeknijmegen.nl) year-round. Marketing is conducted through organic social channels (Facebook, X, Instagram), a printed annual calendar (Sexy met Stijl Bestuurskalender), posters and flyers in the RAGweek house style, the website, and an email newsletter. The organization holds no patents, has no disclosed revenue figures, and uses no proprietary technology beyond a standard WordPress web presence.
