Stichting Leergeld Hollandsche Ijssel

What Stichting Leergeld Hollandsche Ijssel does

Stichting Leergeld Hollandsche IJssel is a Dutch charitable foundation (stichting) founded in 2007 and registered as an ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling), operating under KvK 24415202 / RSIN 818003352. It is one of 113 autonomous local Leergeld foundations affiliated with the national umbrella Leergeld Nederland. The foundation helps children aged 4 to 18 from low-income families in the municipalities of Capelle aan den IJssel, Krimpen aan den IJssel, and Zuidplas participate in educational, sports, cultural, and welfare activities that their household budgets cannot otherwise afford.

Its service portfolio spans educational provisions — a €50 Schoolspullenpas for secondary education, laptops for primary (group 7/8) and secondary pupils, Squla and StudyGo online-learning subscriptions, and graphing calculators — and social-participation provisions including bicycles, sports and cultural membership contributions (via Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur), swimming lessons, and Jarige Job birthday boxes. Income eligibility is capped at 130% of the Participatiewet (Participation Act) threshold, e.g. single-parent families up to €2,192/month net and two-parent families up to €2,603/month net from 1 January 2026. Families apply via an online form on the website (lisy-forms); new families receive a home visit by a trained advisor, applications are processed within 2–3 weeks, and payments are made directly to clubs, schools, or suppliers rather than to the family.

The business model is non-commercial: all support is provided free of charge to eligible families, and the foundation is funded by municipal subsidies (multi-year agreements with the three served municipalities, most recently renewed with Zuidplas in May 2026), individual donations (one-time QR-code gifts and periodic donations enabled by ANBI tax deductibility), and corporate/institutional contributions (e.g. Golfbaan Hitland €1,500, Armoedefonds €250). Day-to-day operations are run by a coordinator (Yolande Holleboom) supported by a volunteer board (Louis de Haan, chair; Jacques Bovens, vice-chair; Kees Witteman, secretary; Jaap Blankenberg and Jeroen de Bruin, board members), financial support (Joost Reijnen), and a rotating corps of volunteer advisors (Conny, Marc, Robert, Georgine, Lia, Taiwo, Roel, Nidaa) who conduct home visits.
