Stichting Welzijn Zonhove

What Stichting Welzijn Zonhove does

Stichting Welzijn Zonhove is a Dutch charitable foundation (stichting), founded by notarial deed on 24 August 1983 and recognized by the Dutch Tax Authority as an Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling (ANBI). It is registered at 't Cour 16, 5701MP Helmond, with operational presence at SWZ locatie Zonhove, Nieuwstraat 70, 5691 AG Son en Breugel, Netherlands. Originally established to manage the 'Hutzon' scouting blockhut on the Zonhove premises, the foundation became largely dormant between 1984 and 2010. Following AWBZ healthcare austerity measures beginning around 2010, it was reactivated under a renewed volunteer board to fill welfare and leisure funding gaps for residents of Zonhove — an intramural facility housing approximately 150–170 children, youth, and adults with severe multiple complex disabilities in 14 small "two-under-one-roof" homes on a protected, wheelchair-friendly terrain.

The foundation's operational purpose is fundraising and project coordination to fund non-medical welfare activities that fall outside regulated AWBZ healthcare coverage. Its product surface consists entirely of donation and sponsorship programs: the 'Vrienden van Zonhove' membership, periodic direct-debit giving (suggested €5–€25 per payment), testamentary bequests (erfopvolging/legaat with full inheritance-tax exemption), and customized corporate CSR sponsorship packages. Revenue is channeled exclusively through bank account NL38 RABO 0148 2573 72. The foundation funds physical and recreational projects including wheelchair-accessible forest paths ('Wandelen op Wielen'), a Snoezeltuin sensory garden, adapted events such as the VerwenKermis fair (2014, 2017), the 'Heel Zonhove Bakt' baking competition, and music performances such as the 'Hippe Gasten' concert held on 2 June 2024.

The organization is volunteer-governed by a four-person board (chairman Arold van der Heijden, secretary Cristel Meulendijk, treasurer Henk Wargers, board member Willemien Meulendijks) with five employees per firmographics. There are no technology products, no app, no API, no AI components, and no disclosed revenue figures. Operations are regional (North Brabant), with outreach through local service clubs (Lions, Rotary, Ladies Circle Son en Breugel), local press coverage, and a static website. The foundation has no parent company, is not venture-backed, and has no subsidiaries or M&A history.
