Samen Krachtig

What Samen Krachtig does

Samen-Krachtig (legal entity: Stichting Samen-Krachtig) is a Dutch ANBI-registered non-profit foundation headquartered in Nuenen, Netherlands, originally founded on 6 November 2018 as HSP Punt Stichting and rebranded to its current name effective 1 January 2025 with a broadened mission. The organization operates as an independent advocacy and information platform serving vulnerable and highly sensitive persons (HSP) in the Netherlands, Belgium, and international English/German-speaking audiences. It targets an addressable population estimated at 3.4 million HSP individuals in the Netherlands (~20% of the population) plus Belgium, across themes including loneliness, grief, stress and burnout, positive focus, overstimulation/HSP, financial health, and self-reliance, with dedicated content streams for youth, adults, seniors, families, educators, healthcare professionals, and employers.

The foundation's product surface centers on a portfolio of web platforms — Samen-Krachtig.nl, Samen-Krachtig.be, Strongest-Together.com, HSP-Punt.nl, HSP-Point.com, and HSP-Punkt.de — providing free downloadable flyers, thematic tip collections, self-assessment tests, and moderation-light peer communities integrated with the MensenVoorElkaar.nl / Lotgenoten Plein platform. The technology stack is a curated content and community platform with no proprietary AI, no public APIs, and no developer-facing integrations. Planned 2025–2026 expansions include the Sensitivity-Check.com diagnostic tool, the HELP-T.nu self-reliance app, the Alert-ALL.com independent-living app, and the Contact-S.com community mutual-aid app, alongside a planned 2026 takeover of Hulpkaart.nl from MEE NL.

Samen-Krachtig generates no commercial revenue. All content is provided free of charge, and operating income is derived from government subsidies, recurring and one-time donations, corporate sponsorship (passively accepted), and project-based financing. The organization is volunteer-led: a board headed by Chairman Jeroen Franssen and Secretary Esther Nent, with an interim Treasurer, supported by an advisory commission that includes Associate Professor Judith Homberg and Assistant Professor Corina Greven of the Donders Institute (Radboud UMC). Its core scientific and community partnerships — notably the Donders Institute and the MensenVoorElkaar.nl peer platform — anchor both research credibility and distribution reach.
