Revenue model

1. Clothing donations (in-kind): The organization receives donations of clothing from the public, which forms the primary supply of goods distributed to clients. These in-kind donations are sorted, stored, and dispensed free of charge to referred clients.
2. Monetary donations from individuals and businesses: Kledingbank Eindhoven is 100% dependent on monetary donations from individuals and companies. These include one-time gifts and periodic/recurring donations. The organization holds ANBI (public benefit institution) status, making donations tax-deductible for Dutch taxpayers. Periodic gifts (minimally annually over 5 years) offer additional tax benefits.
3. Municipal housing subsidy: Since the relocation to Camphuysenstraat, the municipality of Eindhoven provides a subsidy contribution toward rent. Many fixed costs still need to be covered by donations.

Core offering

Kledingbank Eindhoven collects donated clothing from the public, sorts and stores it by type/size/season, and distributes it free of charge to referred clients twice per year (summer season April-September, winter season October-March) at its Eindhoven location. Access requires a valid referral from an authorized referrer and a pre-booked phone appointment. The organization supplements its in-kind clothing mission with monetary donation processing (ANBI tax-deductible) and coordination of 100+ volunteers across intake, sorting, shop-floor, communications, and maintenance roles.

Product overview

The organization accepts clothing donations from the public, processes them through sorting and storage, and distributes items to clients twice yearly (summer season April-September; winter season October-March). Additional services include monetary donation processing with ANBI tax benefits and volunteer coordination across multiple functional areas.

Products and services

• Referral-Based Seasonal Clothing Distribution A charitable clothing bank service that provides free clothing to individuals and families in financial hardship through a referral-based system. Eligible clients receive a referral form from an authorized social service partner (Vluchtelingenwerk, Leger des Heils, Voedselbanken, Stichting Leergeld, Wij Eindhoven, etc.), schedule a phone appointment, and select clothing for themselves and their family members twice per year.
• Clothing Donation Processing Intake service accepting donated clothing from the public at the Eindhoven location, processed through sorting and storage organized by type, size, and season. Unusable items are redirected to Reshare (Leger des Heils) for textile recycling. Private individual donations were temporarily halted as of June 7, 2026 due to warehouse overflow and volunteer capacity pressure.
• Financial Donation Service Monetary donation acceptance service for individuals and businesses, offering one-time and recurring gift options. Kledingbank Eindhoven holds ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) status, making donations tax-deductible for Dutch taxpayers, with additional benefits for periodic gifts agreed for at least five years.
• Volunteer Coordination Program Volunteer engagement program recruiting and coordinating 100+ unpaid volunteers across functional areas including phone operation, shop-floor assistance, sorting, intake, social media content creation, garden and building maintenance, and cleaning. This is the operational backbone enabling the organization's clothing distribution service.

Broad incumbents

• Humanitas: Large Dutch welfare organization providing services to vulnerable populations. Comparable in mission (support for people in poverty) but offers a broader portfolio of programs beyond clothing distribution.
• Leger des Heils (Salvation Army Netherlands): Large Dutch welfare organization operating the Reshare textile-recycling programme that Kledingbank Eindhoven already partners with. Comparable in mission (clothing and welfare for vulnerable populations) but with a much broader social services portfolio.

Emerging players

• Reshare (Leger des Heils textile programme): Specialized textile-recycling programme within Leger des Heils that processes, recycles, and resells donated clothing. Kledingbank Eindhoven already routes unsellable items through Reshare, making it a downstream-value-chain peer with overlapping supply streams.

Direct peers

• Het Goed: Dutch chain of second-hand retail stores that collect, sort, and resell donated clothing. While Het Goed operates a paid retail model rather than free distribution, it shares the donation-collection and textile-sorting infrastructure that defines Kledingbank's value chain.
• Stichting Leergeld: National Dutch foundation supporting children from low-income families with educational and social participation costs (including clothing). Shares the same referral-based model and client base as Kledingbank Eindhoven.
• Vluchtelingenwerk Nederland: Dutch foundation supporting refugees and asylum seekers. Operates a comparable referral and welfare-support model for a specific vulnerable segment that overlaps heavily with Kledingbank's client base (Kledingbank lists Vluchtelingenwerk as a core referral partner).
• Stichting Armoedefonds: Dutch anti-poverty foundation that runs the Digitale Collecte Armoedehulp campaign in which Kledingbank Eindhoven participates. Operates a similar model of channeling donations and corporate matches to local anti-poverty charities in the Netherlands.
• Voedselbanken Nederland: National network of Dutch food banks that distribute donated food to people in financial hardship. Applies a comparable referral-based, volunteer-driven, donation-funded distribution model for a different basic-need category and is also a referral partner for Kledingbank.
• Stichting Kledingbank Nederland: Dutch umbrella/affiliate network of regional clothing banks that operate the same referral-based, free-clothing-distribution model as Kledingbank Eindhoven. Kledingbank Eindhoven is itself part of this national movement, making it the most direct structural peer.

Regional players

• Kringloopwinkel (national second-hand network): Network of Dutch thrift/second-hand stores that collect and resell donated clothing. Operates in the same donation-sorting value chain as Kledingbank Eindhoven but generates revenue from sales rather than providing clothing for free to referred clients.
