Stichting Augeo

What Stichting Augeo does

Stichting Augeo is a Dutch non-profit foundation (stichting) with ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) status, founded circa 2005 and headquartered in Driebergen-Rijsenburg, Netherlands. The organization is mission-driven around two intertwined objectives: preventing child abuse and domestic violence in the Netherlands, and strengthening resilience in children who have experienced adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Augeo develops and distributes evidence-based educational content combining expertise from experiential specialists, academics (including Leiden University), and frontline practitioners, targeting professionals across 16+ Dutch sectors (education, healthcare, childcare, municipalities, youth care) as well as children and parents directly.

The core product is the Augeo Academy, an online learning platform offering accredited courses, organizational memberships, and individual course sales (priced €14-€29 incl. VAT). The platform is supplemented by the Augeo App (formerly Qurve App) for professionals, a free Augeo Magazine newsletter published at least five times per year, and animated series (Breinbijsluiter) covering brain development and stress. In 2026, Augeo launched the OpPepper App (iOS/Android) for children aged 8-12, delivering mood-based resilience exercises, and integrated an AI chatbot for sector-specific guidelines into a new ACEs course. Additional offerings include the Handle with Care school program, Wijzer met de meldcode (executed on behalf of the Ministry of VWS), and Expeditie Veerkracht (co-developed with Kinderpostzegels).

Augeo monetizes via a hybrid model: B2B organizational memberships, individual course purchases, government commissions (Ministry of VWS), and multi-year coalition funding (De Gezonde Generatie via SGF and FondsenCollectief Veilig en Gezond Opgroeien). Board members serve without compensation, and the organization is governed by an independent board with Director M.I. (Mariëlle) Dekker leading operations. Distribution is digital-first via the augeo.nl website, app stores, and email newsletter, with international content partnerships emerging (e.g., FDDS in Poland) for refugee children's resilience training.
