What SGP Alblasserdam does

SGP Alblasserdam is the local branch of the Staatkundig Gereformeerde Partij (SGP), the oldest political party in the Netherlands, founded in 1918 and continuously represented in the Tweede Kamer since 1922. The organization operates as a community-embedded nonprofit political party focused on local governance, electoral engagement, and civic participation in the municipality of Alblasserdam, South Holland, rather than as a commercial technology or product business. Its core activities are political representation in the municipal council, supply of a wethouder (council executive), policy advocacy on local issues (housing, healthcare, public safety, municipal finance, community character), and member/donor mobilization through newsletters, social media, community events, and earned local press coverage. The party is funded through membership fees, voluntary donations, and Dutch government subsidies to political parties, and operates under ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) status, which makes memberships and donations tax-deductible. Affiliated nonprofit entities include SGP-Jongeren (youth organization), Wetenschappelijk Instituut (research institute), SGP-International (foreign cooperation funded by the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs), Stichting Fractiebijstand SGP (municipal council support), and Bestuurdersvereniging (administrators' association). Nationally SGP holds approximately 3 of 150 Tweede Kamer seats, 2 of 75 Eerste Kamer seats, and 1 MEP in the ECR group; it maintains roughly 30,000 members nationwide. Following the 2026 municipal elections SGP Alblasserdam became the largest party locally and entered a governing coalition with VVD and CDA, with Arjan Kosten sworn in as wethouder on 25 June 2026. The organization has no commercial products, APIs, or proprietary technology stack, and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
