Malkander Ede

What Malkander Ede does

Malkander Ede (legally Stichting Malkander) is a Dutch non-profit foundation headquartered at Galvanistraat 1, Ede, Netherlands, that delivers welfare and social-work services to residents of the Gemeinde Ede municipality. The organization employs over 80 staff organized into neighborhood teams covering De Dorpen, Ede-Zuid/Bennekom, Ede Centraal, and Veldhuizen-Kernhem, plus a staf (staff) team, and is supported by more than 300 volunteers deployed across specialized programs. Malkander's service portfolio is anchored on two core offerings — Sociaal Werk (general social work) and Jongerenwerk (youth work, ages 10-25) — and extends into a broad menu of programs: AutoMobiel (voluntary transportation), Mantelzorg and JMZ Go! (caregiver support for adults and young caregivers), Kansrijk (work-experience for ages 13-16), Kamers met Kansen (supported independent living for ages 18-25), Studiecentrum (homework support), Welzijn op Recept (GP social prescribing), Informatief Huisbezoek 75+ (elderly home visits), Buurtbemiddeling (neighborhood mediation), Home-Start/MiM (parent support), Buurtfiets (mobile outreach), and assorted community activities and caregiver courses.

Technically, Malkander has no proprietary technology platform; delivery is human-led through physical neighborhood presence, drop-in consultation hours (inloopspreekuren), phone (0318 20 80 80), email ([email protected]), and a WordPress-based website with social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn). The business model is a managed-services commissioning arrangement: Malkander executes welfare services primarily on behalf of Gemeente Ede, with the municipality functioning as both principal funder and contract counterparty. End-user services are predominantly free, with only modest cost recovery through course fees (€40/course for dementia courses, €5/month per family for Studiecentrum). The organization is governed by a Directeur-bestuurder (Marije Eillebrecht, with Arend Zwaga as interim), supported by team leaders across the four neighborhood districts and a back-office team handling HR, communications, finance, and policy advisory functions.
