What Van Deventer-Maas Indonesia does

Van Deventer-Maas Indonesia (Yayasan Van Deventer-Maas Indonesia, YVDMI) is an Indonesian non-profit scholarship foundation established on September 12, 2017, operating as the local representative of the Dutch parent foundation Van Deventer-Maas Stichting (founded 1947). The foundation provides financial and capacity-building support to approximately 800 underprivileged Indonesian students annually enrolled in D3, D4, and S1 programs at 35+ partner universities, 1 vocational school, and 1 high school (SMA Regina Pacis). Beneficiary monthly allowances have risen from IDR 500,000 (2017) to IDR 800,000 (2026), supplemented by TOEFL preparation bonuses and graduation exam bonuses; women account for 68% of recipients, consistent with the foundation's historical mission tied to Betsy Maas's educational ideals for Indonesian women.

The organization's program portfolio extends beyond direct financial aid to include capacity-building offerings such as annual Leadership Conferences, Regional Meetings, Citizenship Workshops, the Excellent Writing Club, and writing competitions (GLOW, IDEAS). Operational delivery is supported by a set of internal platforms: the Online Registration System (ORS) for applications, the Scholarship Administration System (SAS) for grantee data and disbursements, the Student Monitoring System (SMS) for annual confidential progress assessments, and the Excellent Writing Club (EWC) digital writing platform. Distribution and beneficiary management are executed through a network of Person-in-Charge (PIC) representatives embedded at each partner university, with post-graduation engagement maintained through an Alumni Association (Asosiasi Alumni) and Regional Representatives active on Instagram and other channels.

YVDMI is governed by an Indonesian Advisory Board chaired by Prof. Ir. Irfan Dwidya Prijambada, with Parche Manoto serving as Executive Director, while ultimate strategic control rests with the Netherlands-based VDMS board (Chairperson Ute Jansen, Treasurer Ivo Ten Pierick). The organization employs 29 staff at its Yogyakarta headquarters (Jl. Purwanggan No. 9, Pakualaman) and is wholly funded by the Dutch parent foundation; it is not a revenue-generating enterprise and does not publish financial statements. The revenue model is grant-funded: the parent foundation transfers capital to YVDMI to disburse scholarships, fund capacity-building programs, and cover operating costs, with no fees charged to beneficiaries or universities.
