What Campus Nederland does

Stichting Campus Nederland is a Dutch non-profit educational foundation headquartered in Rotterdam that designs and delivers fully organized educational programs — including one-day campus days, multi-day campus weeks, a six-month blended learning program with personal tutors, and an inspirational speaker series (CampusNL College Tour) — for primary, secondary and vocational school students across the Netherlands. Since its founding in June 2020 as Zomercampus Rotterdam during the COVID-19 lockdown, the foundation has rebranded to Campus Nederland (effective January 26, 2022) to reflect national ambitions and has served more than 35,000 students across the Randstad and beyond, with programs running at 9-13 locations simultaneously during school-holiday periods. The organization operates as a B2B service to schools and school boards, with named anchor partnerships including RVKO, BOOR, and CVO, and has built an ecosystem of 30+ partners spanning government bodies (Ministry of OCW, Gemeente Rotterdam), foundations (Jeugdeducatiefonds, Méér Muziek in de Klas), and corporate donors (Unilever, Deloitte).

The foundation is funded through a mix of government grants aligned with the 'School en Omgeving' regulation of the Ministry of OCW, municipal support (Gemeente Rotterdam), foundation partnerships, and corporate donations, with ANBI status enabling tax-deductible giving. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; programs are custom-quoted per school under multi-year contracts. The team of approximately 19 named professionals plus active vacancies (Jr Projectmedewerker, Projectleider, HR-medewerker, Mentors) operates under co-founder and Directeur-Bestuurder Mandy Markerink, with a Raad van Toezicht providing unpaid governance. The technology stack is intentionally non-technical, focused on program design and in-person delivery rather than digital platforms, with the website built on Webflow and programs delivered on school premises.

Broad incumbents

• Stichting Kinderpostzegels: One of the largest Dutch children's charities, funding projects in education, culture, and child welfare. Comparable as an established Dutch ANBI foundation operating in the same child-development funding pool, often partnering with or funding organizations like Campus Nederland's peers.
• Stichting Leergeld: National Dutch foundation network helping children from low-income families participate in educational, cultural, and extracurricular activities. Comparable in serving disadvantaged Dutch youth and in partnering with the same school boards and municipalities (e.g., Rotterdam), though operating via individual household support rather than direct school-program delivery.

Direct peers

• IMC Basis (formerly IMC Weekendschool): Dutch foundation offering structured weekend enrichment programs for children aged 10-14 using guest teachers and professionals, focused on talent discovery and broadening horizons. Closest direct peer to Campus Nederland: same nonprofit model, same target demographic, same extracurricular enrichment orientation, only differing in cadence (weekends vs. school-day/school-holiday programs).
• JINC: Dutch nonprofit that helps young people (ages 8-18) from disadvantaged backgrounds prepare for the job market through school-based career orientation and real-world programs. Highly comparable to Campus Nederland in mission (youth development, school partnerships, social-equity focus) and B2B-school GTM, with overlap specifically on the vocational-education Campusweek Praktijkonderwijs offering.

Emerging players

• Stichting Talentboom: Dutch foundation focused on talent development in primary education, often partnering with schools to deliver enrichment programming. Comparable niche focus on school-based talent identification and broad personal development, similar to Campus Nederland's stated mission.
• Stichting Méér Muziek in de Klas: Dutch foundation promoting music and culture education in primary schools through structured school-day programs and partnerships. Directly comparable in model (school-based enrichment delivered via partnerships) and an actual named partner of Campus Nederland (Zomercampus010), giving meaningful overlap in delivery channels and target schools.
• Stichting Leren voor Morgen: Dutch foundation supporting future-oriented and SDG-aligned education in primary schools. Comparable in partnering with Dutch primary schools to deliver thematic, SDG-inspired programming (a theme Campus Nederland also uses in its College Tour).

Others

• CED-groep: Dutch educational services organization supporting schools with professional development, educational advice, and program implementation. Comparable in operating as a B2B service provider to Dutch school boards, though focused on teacher development and curriculum support rather than direct student programming.
