What Hi5ambacht does

Stichting Hi5Ambacht is a Dutch non-profit foundation (ANBI) founded in 2012 and based in Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, Netherlands. The foundation organizes and delivers sports, movement, cultural, and youth-work activities for residents across three age cohorts — youth under 16, adults aged 16-75, and seniors aged 55+. Programming spans nine named core services, including Jongerenwerk (youth work programs such as Girls Only, Smaakmakers, Level Up), senior fitness (Beweeg zit & train u fit, Move & stay fit, Wandel fit, Sophia fit & fun), the Hi5 Summer Vibes holiday program, Natuurkids nature education, Kunstkids arts workshops, the annual Hi5 Festival, and buurtsportcoach (neighborhood sports coach) services. Delivery is in person across multiple community venues: Baxhuis (Hoge Kade 58, youth work), Sporthal de Ridderhal, Zwembad de Louwert, local primary schools, and four named senior care/ontmoetingscentra (Wielstaete, Emmastaete, De Kruidhof, Sophiastaete).

Operations are supported by a small staff of roughly 7-10 people working under the CAO Sport collective labor agreement, led by director Tinka Lansbergen-Schouwenburg, and including combination functionaries, buurtsportcoaches, a senior coach, a cultuurcoach (cultural broker), and four named jongerenwerkers (Levi, Hamid, Ilayda, plus a fourth). An online activity catalog and account-based registration system on hi5ambacht.nl handles participant signup, alongside Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, a newsletter, and WhatsApp for outreach.

The revenue model is dominated by municipal funding from the Gemeente Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht, supplemented by ANBI-eligible donations and small per-activity fees (e.g., EUR 7.50 per person for stormbaan swimming at Zwembad de Louwert, paid at the venue). Most youth, senior, and holiday programs are offered free to participants. The foundation serves as the appointed coordinator (kartrekker) of the local Sportakkoord platform and holds a portfolio of partnerships with local schools, sports clubs, healthcare providers, the library, and the municipal health and youth services.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• JINC: Dutch non-profit providing youth development programs that combine career orientation, training, and personal guidance for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds. Comparable to Hi5Ambacht's youth work (Level Up, Girls Only, Smaakmakers) in mission and Dutch nonprofit structure, though operating nationally.
• Stichting Leergeld: Dutch foundation network helping children from low-income families participate in sports, culture, and education. Directly comparable to Hi5Ambacht's mission of enabling community participation; the two organizations are already partners on sports clothing initiatives.
• Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur: Dutch national fund that pays sports and cultural membership/course fees for children from low-income families. Highly comparable because it removes financial barriers to exactly the kinds of programs Hi5Ambacht delivers (youth sports, holiday activities, creative workshops).

Regional players

• Fonds Gehandicaptensport: Dutch foundation enabling sport participation for people with disabilities, including adapted sport programs and partnerships with municipalities. Comparable as a Dutch nonprofit operating in the inclusive sport space that Hi5Ambacht also addresses through Sportakkoord's inclusive sports theme.

Emerging players

• Stichting Kinderpostzegels: Dutch children's charity funding projects for vulnerable youth up to 18. Comparable in Dutch nonprofit ANBI structure and children-focused mission, though with a national fundraising and grantmaking model rather than direct local activity delivery.

Others

• Stichting De Zonnebloem: Large Dutch volunteer-based nonprofit supporting people with physical disabilities through social activities and outings. Comparable in Dutch ANBI nonprofit structure and senior/disability focus, though with a national volunteer-driven model rather than municipal sports programming.
• NL Sportraad: Independent Dutch advisory council on sport policy to government and parliament. Comparable as a stakeholder in the same Sportakkoord policy ecosystem in which Hi5Ambacht acts as a local coordinator.

Broad incumbents

• Kenniscentrum Sport & Bewegen: National Dutch knowledge center supporting municipal sport and physical activity programming. Comparable because it sets the framework, training, and best practices that Hi5Ambacht-style local sports foundations rely on for buurtsportcoach and community sport delivery.
• Sportservice Nederland: Dutch national support organization for local sports clubs, municipalities, and sports service providers. Directly comparable as it operates the buurtsportcoach and combinatiefunctionaris ecosystem that Hi5Ambacht's model is built upon, though at a national rather than single-municipality scale.
