Samenwerkingsstichting Kans & Kleur

What Samenwerkingsstichting Kans & Kleur does

Samenwerkingsstichting Kans & Kleur is a Dutch non-profit cooperation foundation (ANBI status, Chamber of Commerce 41056036) that operates 15 primary schools across the municipality of Wijchen in the province of Gelderland, Netherlands. The affiliated schools include Catholic, public, and interconfessional institutions, spanning diverse pedagogical methodologies such as Montessori (De Trinoom), Dalton (Daltonschool Sint Jozef), and Jenaplan (De Buizerd), as well as special primary education (SBO De Bolster) and an integrated childcare-and-education center (IKC Westwijzer). The foundation's stated mission is to deliver "world-wise education" (wereldwijs onderwijs), focusing on individual child development and community engagement, with each school retaining its own identity ("eigen kleur") while benefiting from collective cooperation ("eigen kans").

The organization is governed by a one-person College van Bestuur (executive board led by bestuurder Reint Bos) and a Raad van Toezicht (supervisory board chaired by Mariola Gremmen), supported by a central administrative office of approximately six staff handling executive support, financial control (concern controller), educational quality, and HRM. The foundation also operates a Vaste Invallers Pool (VIP), an in-house substitute teacher staffing pool.

The business model is government-funded primary education delivery under the Dutch public education system. Revenue is derived from public educational funding mechanisms allocated by the Dutch government, with no tuition charged to families. Accountability is maintained through the ANBI framework, Scholen op de Kaart public reporting, and a dedicated governance structure including external confidential support (Vertrouwenswerk.nl), external complaints resolution (GCBO), and an external Data Protection Officer (Lumengroup) for GDPR compliance. The technology footprint is limited to a public-facing website, recruitment portal, and social media presence; no proprietary technology, AI/ML capabilities, or commercial product offerings are disclosed.
