Core offering

Trombosestichting Nederland is a Dutch charitable foundation that funds scientific research on thrombosis, provides free patient education materials (brochures, the Antistollingspas anticoagulation card, and the Vliegveiligheidskaart flight safety card), and raises public awareness about blood clots and anticoagulant use. Its offerings include the PE@home pulmonary rehabilitation program, a quarterly Trombose magazine, donation platforms (LoonGift, Doelshop.nl, Dappre), and the annual Stop de Prop-loop fundraising walk.

Product overview

Trombosestichting Nederland operates as a charitable foundation focused on thrombosis prevention, research funding, and patient education rather than a traditional product company. Its service portfolio consists primarily of informational and support products including: the free Antistollingspas (Anticoagulation Card) for patients on blood thinners, the Vliegveiligheidskaart (Flight Safety Card) for travelers, the PE@home rehabilitation program for pulmonary embolism patients, and the quarterly Trombosestichting Magazine. The foundation also facilitates donations through multiple platforms including Doelshop.nl, the Dappre app, and LoonGift via The Social Handshake, while organizing the annual Stop de Prop-loop fundraising walk event. These offerings work together to fulfill the organization's mission of preventing thrombosis, funding scientific research, and improving patient outcomes through education and support services.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH): Global scientific society for thrombosis and haemostasis; runs World Thrombosis Day campaign. Comparable mission (thrombosis research, awareness, education) but operates internationally as a professional society rather than a patient-facing donor-funded foundation.
• KWF Kankerbestrijding (Dutch Cancer Society): The largest Dutch health charity and a clear incumbent in the ANBI/CBF-certified voluntary health organization space. While focused on cancer, KWF competes for the same pool of Dutch health-conscious donors, recurring givers, and lottery/legacy channels.

Direct peers

• Nederlandse Hartstichting (Dutch Heart Foundation): Largest Dutch cardiovascular nonprofit; funds heart and vascular research, runs awareness campaigns, and shares overlapping patient/mission territory with Trombosestichting (heart attacks and strokes are thrombotic events). They are co-marketed as strategic partners.
• Reuma Nederland: Dutch nonprofit focused on rheumatic diseases with research funding and patient support programs. Directly comparable voluntary health organization model, ANBI status, and donor-acquisition channels.
• Longfonds (Dutch Lung Foundation): Dutch health nonprofit funding pulmonary research and patient support. Highly comparable operating model (donations, research grants, free patient materials) with a focus area (pulmonary embolism) that directly overlaps with Trombosestichting's PE@home program.
• Prinses Beatrix Spierfonds: Dutch muscular disease nonprofit with similar ANBI-certified charitable structure, recurring donation programs, and lottery grant participation. Comparable in size, scope, and operational model to Trombosestichting.
• Nierstichting (Dutch Kidney Foundation): Dutch disease-specific nonprofit funding kidney research and patient education. Same ANBI/CBF-certified voluntary health organization model, similar revenue streams (donations, periodic giving, legacies, lottery), and similar size tier.
• Diabetes Fonds: Dutch disease-specific health nonprofit with similar ANBI/CBF status, recurring donor model, and research-funding mission. Highly comparable in scale, governance, and operational structure to Trombosestichting.

Regional players

• National Blood Clot Alliance (NBCA): US-based patient advocacy organization dedicated to thrombosis and clotting disorders. Runs awareness campaigns, patient education, and research funding — closely parallel to Trombosestichting's mission but serving the US market.
• Thrombosis UK: UK-based charity focused on thrombosis awareness, patient support, and research funding. Direct functional analogue of Trombosestichting but operating in a different national market; useful as a comparable peer for size and program structure.
