Vakblad fondsenwerving

What Vakblad fondsenwerving does

Vakblad fondsenwerving (legal entity: Fondsenwerving.nl BV) is a Dutch professional trade publication serving the fundraising and philanthropy sector in the Netherlands. Founded in 1998, the company publishes a quarterly magazine in both print and digital formats, complemented by a continuous online content stream of news, in-depth articles, interviews, and research via its website fondsenwerving.nl. Its primary audience consists of Dutch charities, foundations, and non-profit organizations (goede doelen) engaged in fundraising, together with fundraising professionals and the commercial vendors that serve the sector. Content is produced in Dutch and distributed domestically.

The product portfolio extends beyond the magazine into digital and event-based services: three podcast series (Fundraising Stories, Op Locatie, In Gesprek), webinars and workshop reprises, a weekly email newsletter, a professional online community (Vf-Community), a sector job board (Vacatures), and the annual Vakdag Fondsenwerving national conference held at venues such as the Beatrix Theater in Utrecht. Revenue is generated through published annual membership subscriptions — €482 per year (excl. 9% VAT) for non-profit organizations with ANBI status and €1,550 per year for commercial organizations — which bundle the magazine, digital edition, job board, event access, community, and partner discounts. Distribution is single-country (Netherlands), the company is privately held with no disclosed parent, investors, or funding rounds, and headcount, revenue, and membership counts are not publicly disclosed. Editorial leadership currently sits with Petra Hoogerwerf (Hoofdredacteur) following the 2020 passing of founder Jaap Zeekant.
