M-pact Enschede

What M-pact Enschede does

Stichting M-Pact Enschede is a Dutch non-profit foundation (stichting) founded in 2016 that serves as the central volunteer coordination organization for the city of Enschede, Netherlands. It connects 4,000+ affiliated volunteers with 350+ local foundations, associations, and initiatives through a digital volunteer vacancy bank, specialized programs, and an annual recognition event (Enschedese Vrijwilligersdag). Its operational scope spans caregiver respite (Mantelzorgvrijwilligers), youth engagement (Young M-Pact and Music Moves Enschede), refugee integration (Doe Mee in Enschede), welfare-to-work empowerment (Eigen Kracht), senior mobility (Automaatje), and knowledge dissemination (Kenniscentrum).

The core technology is the Deedmob white-label volunteer management platform, which powers the organization's website, vacancy bank, organization registry, and account infrastructure. M-Pact does not operate proprietary technology but extends the platform with content, community programs, and partnership integrations with Saxion, Stichting 10,000 Hours, Prismare, Stichting 55+, Huis voor Taal en Meedoen, and (as of April 2026) Zorggroep Manna. The organization is governed by a small leadership team led by Director Marcel Assink and is structured around program-specific coordinators for care, youth, and voluntary engagement.

M-Pact's business model is non-commercial: all services to volunteers and organizations are free, and revenue is sourced almost exclusively through municipal subsidies from Gemeente Enschede, with no fees, no enterprise contracts, and no disclosed earned-income streams. The organization operates within a strictly single-city geographic perimeter and derives its competitive position from a decade of municipal and civil-society network depth, brand recognition, and integrated program coverage rather than technology or pricing differentiation.

• Helpforward: Dutch online volunteer matching platform (formerly HelpMAN) used by municipalities to coordinate volunteer activity. Directly comparable to M-Pact's Deedmob-powered volunteer vacancy bank.
• Vrijwilligerswerk.nl: Dutch volunteer job board and resource hub for volunteer organizations. Comparable to M-Pact's Kenniscentrum and vacancy bank from an information and matching standpoint.
• Stichting Present: Dutch non-profit operating local chapters that connect volunteers with people in need, including informal care support. Comparable mission and operating model to M-Pact's volunteer coordination and mantelzorg programs.

Broad incumbents

• Humanitas: Large Dutch volunteer-driven organization delivering social support programs including caregiver support — overlapping directly with M-Pact's Mantelzorgvrijwilligers program but at national scale.
• Oranje Fonds: National Dutch King- and Queen-funded foundation supporting volunteer initiatives and social cohesion. Broader incumbent providing grants across the same civic space M-Pact operates in locally.
