Leergeld Haarlem Zandvoort

Founded in 2017, Leergeld Haarlem Zandvoort is a charity based in Haarlem, Netherlands working on children & youth, education, poverty & hunger.

Stichting Leergeld Haarlem en Zandvoort is a local charity in the Dutch municipalities of Haarlem and Zandvoort. It works to prevent social exclusion of children from families with minimal financial means by helping them take part in education, sport, culture and wellbeing activities. Support is provided through a volunteer-supported process in which families apply, receive a home visit and an assessment of their needs, and, if approved, funding is paid directly to the school, club or bicycle dealer concerned. Support includes bicycles, laptops or Chromebooks, sport and cultural membership fees, and homework or tutoring support. The organisation works with partners including Jarige Job, Jeugdfonds Sport & Cultuur and Nationaal Fonds Kinderhulp under the samenvoorallekinderen.nl collaboration, and is a member of Leergeld Nederland. It is recognised as an ANBI public-benefit organisation and is funded by individual donations and other grants.
