Stichting Inloophuizen Amersfoort

What Stichting Inloophuizen Amersfoort does

Stichting Inloophuizen Amersfoort is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting) established in June 2015 by four church organizations — the Roman Catholic Parish and Parochial Charity Institution of Our Lady of Amersfoort, the Protestant Church Deacons of Amersfoort, and the Protestant Church Deacons of Hoogland/Amersfoort-Noord. It operates as a coordinating umbrella for a network of four neighborhood drop-in centers (inloophuizen) in Amersfoort: De Aandacht, De Herberg Nieuwland, De Ontmoeting, and Inloophuis Schothorst. The centers function as informal "living rooms" where local residents can drop in without obligation to socialize, share experiences, and participate in activities aimed at reducing social isolation. The foundation holds ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) public benefit organization status (RSIN 855302549, KvK 63587882), enabling tax-deductible donations.

The foundation's core function is governance and coordination rather than direct service delivery: it is the legal employer of the six professional staff (beroepskrachten), manages housing and facilities for the four locations, sets quality standards, and conducts fundraising for the general drop-in work. Day-to-day operations of each inloophuis are handled by separate program commissions (programmacommissies) responsible for local activities and volunteer coordination. The organization relies on a community-led model with no commercial revenue; income is derived from voluntary donations, sponsorships, and deaconry contributions, and all services to visitors are free of charge. There is no proprietary technology, digital product, app, or commercial distribution channel — the foundation operates entirely through physical neighborhood locations and word-of-mouth referrals.
