SharePower

What SharePower does

SharePower is a Dutch nonprofit foundation (Stichting SharePower) headquartered in Roermond, Limburg, Netherlands, founded in 1975 and operating under ANBI public-benefit status since 2016. The organization focuses on women's empowerment and gender equality in Limburg through a portfolio of workshops, training trajectories, advocacy events, and educational programs. Its core offerings include the Kweekvijvertraject (a political participation training program running over 20 years), Krachtige Vrouwen Limburg (an empowerment program built on Positive Health methodology), Vrouwen en veiligheid (women's safety initiatives including digital resilience and domestic violence awareness), and a career development program for women with a migration background. The organization maintains an online Genderkloof information platform and a newsletter mailing service to support awareness and participant recruitment.

The organization serves a diverse set of segments in Limburg, including aspiring female politicians, women experiencing social or economic exclusion, women concerned about safety, women with migration backgrounds, and parents/educators seeking guidance on digital safety topics. Its go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, relying on partnerships with municipalities (Roermond, Sittard-Geleen), the Province of Limburg, Waterschap Limburg, educational institutions (Vista-college), knowledge institutes (Atria), and civil society organizations (Nederlandse Vrouwen Raad, ZijActief Limburg, Kansfonds). Marketing channels include the sharepower.nl website, email newsletters, partner referrals, public events, organic social media, and earned media coverage.

The business model is grant- and donation-driven rather than commercial. Revenue streams comprise government grants and subsidies from municipalities and the Province of Limburg, foundation support (notably Kansfonds), nominal program participation fees (€100 for the Kweekvijver trajectory), and optional digital course packages sold at €90.75 including VAT. The organization is not VAT registered, consistent with its mission-driven, non-commercial posture. The operational team consists of 8 employees supported by a network of volunteers, ambassadors, and a board of directors. SharePower rebranded from Stichting FAM! to its current name in February 2022.
