Stichting Reanimatie Netwerk Amersfoort

What Stichting Reanimatie Netwerk Amersfoort does

Stichting Reanimatie Netwerk Amersfoort is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting), established in 2016 and granted ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) tax-exempt status, that operates the civilian CPR volunteer network and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) network within the municipality of Amersfoort. The foundation coordinates 2,663 registered civilian first responders (burgerhulpverleners) and maintains 306 AEDs deployed across the service area. Dispatch is handled through integration with the national HartslagNu alert system, which notifies nearby trained volunteers when a cardiac arrest is reported in their vicinity; coverage is organized on a 250-meter response grid, tighter than the national standard, to compress bystander response times.

Operationally, the foundation runs on a lean staff of 11 employees supported by roughly 70 operational volunteers, with additional volunteer capacity drawn from the broader 2,663-strong registered base. Core activities include CPR and AED training (courses priced at €49.50, €32.50, and €13.50 for different formats), AED placement and maintenance in partnership with supplier Fuego BV, community outreach via a dedicated business liaison targeting companies, VvEs (homeowner associations), and neighborhood groups, and coordination with regional ambulance service RAVU and the Dutch Heart Foundation (Hartstichting).

The revenue model combines three streams: a municipal subsidy from Gemeente Amersfoort as the primary funding line, fee income from CPR/AED training courses, and donations, including a dedicated crowdfunding channel (Hartvoordebuurt / BuurtAED) that finances neighborhood-level AED installations. The foundation's competitive position rests on the density of its volunteer and AED footprint, its institutional recognition within the national HartslagNu network, and its multi-stakeholder coordination role in the local cardiac-arrest response chain.

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Hartvoordebuurt: Neighborhood crowdfunding platform for AED placement managed by Fuego BV, the same AED supplier partner as the foundation. Provides an overlapping channel for community-funded AED deployment with bundled service contracts and free training places.
• HartslagNu: National civilian CPR alert system that dispatches registered volunteers via SMS/app when 112 receives a cardiac arrest call. It is the core dispatch infrastructure the foundation integrates with and the same category of activity (volunteer CPR alerting) at national scale.
• Nederlandse Reanimatieraad (NRR): Dutch Resuscitation Council that sets national CPR standards, certifies instructors, and issues ERC-recognized credentials. The foundation's instructors and course certificates all flow through NRR, making it both a governing body and the closest comparable standards organization in the Dutch CPR ecosystem.

Emerging players

• GoodSAM (Good Smartphone Activated Medics): International platform that dispatches nearby vetted responders (including bystanders with AEDs) to medical emergencies including cardiac arrest. Closely analogous citizen-responder alerting product to HartslagNu, operating primarily outside the Netherlands.
• PulsePoint Foundation: US-based nonprofit whose mobile app alerts trained citizen responders (and off-duty clinicians) to nearby cardiac arrests and AED locations. Highly comparable volunteer CPR alerting model, focused on a different geography but with similar mission and architecture.

Broad incumbents

• Hartstichting (Dutch Heart Foundation): Netherlands-wide heart health charity that funds CPR research, public campaigns, and training infrastructure. The foundation is an official reanimation partner of Hartstichting and aligns its curriculum to Hartstichting guidelines, making Hartstichting both a partner and a broader incumbent in the same mission space.
• Rode Kruis (Dutch Red Cross): Large humanitarian organization delivering first aid, CPR, and AED training across the Netherlands, including a local Eemland/Amersfoort branch that provides course space and instructors to the foundation. Overlaps in CPR training and emergency preparedness education, but at much broader national scale.

Others

• Ambulancezorg Nederland: Industry association representing Dutch ambulance services, including RAVU which is the foundation's dispatch partner. Comparable as an ecosystem enabler for out-of-hospital emergency response coordination rather than a direct competitor.
