Stichting Je Moeder

What Stichting Je Moeder does

Stichting Je Moeder is a Dutch non-profit cultural foundation (stichting) founded in 2015 and headquartered in Rotterdam, Netherlands, with a staff of approximately 15. The foundation's stated mission is to use culture and media to raise awareness, foster connection, and inspire dialogue around societal themes, with the conviction that cultural and societal projects strengthen groups and individuals. It serves primarily children, youth, seniors, and families across Rotterdam neighborhoods including Feijenoord, Rozenburg, Schiedam, and Rotterdam-Centrum.

The foundation operates as a project-based organization running six distinct cultural and educational programs rather than producing commercial technology products. Schitteren! (launched 2024) delivers creative project weeks in performing arts and visual arts/design thinking at Ilex College Schiedam. Rotterdam Ontrafelt… (launched 2023) is an interactive city program of guided walks and workshops on Rotterdam's colonial slavery past, supported by municipal and cultural-participation funding. Het avonturenatelier Rozenburg (launched 2021) provides weekly Wednesday afternoon art workshops for children. Kinderfestival Het Buitenland is an annual family festival at the Overblaak cube houses. Geluk op Zuid (launched 2017) runs poetry and happiness workshops in Feijenoord. Oma's Recept (launched 2015) is an intergenerational cooking and storytelling program pairing seniors with children.

The foundation has no proprietary technology stack, no AI/ML capabilities, no commercial products, and no API offerings; its public web presence runs on WordPress. Its underlying business model is grant-funded non-profit operation: revenue is sourced from project-based collaborations and grants from cultural intermediaries (De Cultuurschool, CultuurConcreet), municipal authorities (Gemeente Rotterdam), cultural-participation funds (Fonds Cultuurparticipatie), and small Dutch foundations (Stichting Bevordering Volkskracht, Stichting Solidarodam). The foundation is governed by a four-member volunteer board (Eefje Verstraelen as Chair, Jinai Looi as Treasurer, Davy Yong as Secretary, Femke Otto as General Member) and operates without parent companies, subsidiaries, or external equity investors.
