Stichting de Schroef

What Stichting de Schroef does

Stichting de Schroef is a Dutch charitable foundation (Stichting) headquartered in Drunen, municipality of Heusden, Netherlands, founded in 2007 and operating with approximately 12 employees. It holds ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) public benefit status and is governed by a board, with no shareholders. Its mission is to bring residents of Heusden into physical and social movement through free, low-threshold sports, play, and exercise programming, with explicit focus on residents facing financial hardship, people with disabilities, youth, and seniors. The foundation operates as a community-led organization in which buurtsportcoaches (neighborhood sports coaches) serve as the connective tissue between sports clubs, residents, businesses, healthcare organizations (Jeroen Bosch Ziekenhuis), schools, municipalities, and social organizations. All activities are delivered free of charge to participants.

The foundation's portfolio is a suite of community programs rather than a unified product. Core offerings include NEXT LEVEL (youth gaming and talent development at libraries in Vlijmen and Drunen), MDT Young Active (a Maatschappelijke Diensttijd civic service program for ages 12-30), Fietslessen (free cycling lessons), Vitaliteitsdag (annual senior health and fall-prevention event), QR-Fit beweeggroep (weekly outdoor exercise group for seniors), Sportcafé (annual networking event), HeusdenPopUp (multi-cultural community events), and the 'Iedereen doet MEE' training program for inclusive sports coaching. The organization also acts as the designated Uniek Sporten contact for disabilities sports in Heusden and the Jeugdfonds Sport intermediary for the municipality.

The revenue model is multi-stream and nonprofit: individual and corporate donations (with up to 52% tax advantage for multi-year donation agreements), a recurring affiliate rebate from the Vriendenloterij (minimum 40% of stake), municipal contracts with Gemeente Heusden tied to the Lokale Beweeg- en Sportakkoord, project grants from national and regional funds (Oranje Fonds, VSBFonds, BrabantSport Fonds, Rabobank de Langstraat Stimuleringsfonds, Dr. J.C. Vaillantfonds, Armoedefonds), event-based fundraising (Lions Club rally), digital collection boxes, and crowdfunding (The Good Place). Go-to-market is community-led and partner-referral driven, with no membership or participation fees charged to end users. Geographic reach is restricted to Heusden and surrounding areas; no global footprint is claimed.
