Crazyideevzw

Our non-profit association is primarily committed to having both mobile and less mobile people enjoy the water(sports) together. (Water-sports) activities accessible to everyone with respect for every limitation & where everyone can experience the same without a "threshold". Our strength in this is that wheelchair users can do all this with their own wheelchair. At Crazy Idee we don't let anyone stand aside. Inclusion is not just a word for us, but the common thread throughout everything we do. That is why we want to make our activities accessible to both mobile and less mobile people and we also keep the costs low. All our vessels are completely self-made and tailor-made. And that costs money. A cost that we do not want to pass on to our visitors. With more hot summers ahead, we not only want to launch our existing vessels, but we continue to dream and develop to let more people go on board together, with or without a wheelchair and with respect for every limitation. We can use your support for this. With your financial push in our back, we can continue our course and no one will stand aside. That's where we make the difference.

Favela Street Foundation

The Favela Street Foundation creates a new generation of role models with the power of street football in deprived neighborhoods around the world. This new generation of role models will change their neighborhoods into a more positive and safer place. Although our programs targets 20 to 30 young people per program, we are convinced that the entire community can be reached. We base this on the social network theory. Within six steps (six degrees of separation) the whole world knows each other because acquaintances of yours know others. So within three to four steps our participants quickly reach the entire community with a positive change. We want to bring a culture change and that requires more. It's therefore important that we "touch" people so that they too start to believe in a positive change. Studies of cultural changes - and in particular influencing current stereotypes - show that a critical mass (percentage of people who disagree with the current standard) of 30% is necessary to bring sustainable change. For Favela Street, this means not reaching the entire neighborhood, but showing 30% of the people within our reach that things can be done differently. Favela Street programs target young people facing social exclusion as they grow up in deprived neighborhoods. Because of this social exclusion, they are less likely to receive good education, work or prospect of a positive future. Society says to these young people "you are not participating". In addition, they grow up in neighborhoods where they often have to deal with negative influences such as drugs, gangs, police violence and poverty. These factors can have a huge impact on the self-image, well-being and mindset of young people. By focusing on the development of young people, we ensure sustainable positive change in the neighborhood. Because we believe in the strength, talent and potential of these young people, we have created a program that supports them towards a positive (er) future. We teach them practical skills, how they can organize sports activities as a coach for their neighborhood. They develop their (psycho) social skills, they learn to take responsibility for and direct their future, they are better able to make conscious and sensible choices, they are less negatively influenced. In short, a new generation of role models is emerging. This new generation ensures a lasting positive change in the neighborhood. Because we want to make sure that our program actually makes a positive change in the lives of young people and their neighborhoods, we have developed a special measuring instrument. This was done by research agency XOET, the measuring instrument provides insight at two levels: 1. In the objectives and progression of our participants. 2. In the impact of the individual progression of participants on their communities. We believe that you can only bring sustainable (cultural) change in young people and their communities if you apply a qualitative and personal approach for a longer period. By comparing results at different times, we - and the young people themselves - gain insight into their progress, which provides even more motivation to keep moving forward. In addition, we can determine whether the program really works. Because we want to know whether our program is causing a culture change within the community, gaining insight into our impact is part of the measuring instrument. Based on principles from social network theory, we find out whether we are achieving sufficient "critical mass" to bring a cultural change in the neighborhood. We do this through the young people we train in our programs, but also through the activities organized in the neighborhood.

Stichting Queertopia

Queertopia is a foundation that is committed to promoting the mental and physical health of LGBTQIA+ people. Within Dutch society, heterosexual and cis/binary gender are still too often seen as the norm, which means that queer people are regularly excluded. This brings with it complex challenges, such as violence, discrimination, and the feeling of not belonging. Queertopia is there to help people grow towards their own ideals.

Stichting People For People

The People for People brand aims to build a collective of decisive people who have founded or work at companies that care. From ESG managers to CEOs, these individuals are solution-minded, capable of making fast decisions, and focused on implementing impact at scale. When a large-scale crisis occurs and people are forced to flee their homes, they feel the responsibility to act. They are not experts in medical aid, construction or military operations - but they can tap into their businesses to deliver much-needed supplies, services and infrastructure quickly. When people are suddenly forced from home due to large-scale disasters, we call on our collective responsibility to help as many people as possible as quickly as possible - regardless of their nationality or background. We focus our eorts on the people that might otherwise be missed or fall behind. We pay special attention to young people and their families, directly asking them about their needs. United in our eorts, we aim to bring back humanity in crisis response.
