About This Project

De Nederlandse Uitdaging has partnered with Behold to scale their impact across the Netherlands by developing sustainable partnerships with corporations, foundations, and government organizations that want to make a meaningful difference in their communities.

About De Nederlandse Uitdaging

De Nederlandse Uitdaging (The Dutch Challenge) is a national platform that connects businesses with social organizations to tackle local challenges together. Since its founding, they've built a proven track record of creating measurable social impact through practical collaboration.

Their impact includes:

• 25 Local Challenges operating across the Netherlands
• 9,312 social needs connected to corporate support
• 7,465 successful matches between businesses and social organizations
• €5,060,663 in social value created

Our Partnership

Behold is supporting De Nederlandse Uitdaging to professionalize and scale their platform in collaboration with GoodUp. Together, we're developing strategic partnerships with corporations, foundations, and government bodies to expand three flagship programs that address critical social needs across the country.

Three Core Programs

De Laatste Pluk (The Last Harvest) Mobilizing businesses and volunteers to combat food waste by harvesting surplus fruit for food banks - preventing 250,000 kg of food waste annually.

Bruggen Bouwen (Building Bridges) Creating inclusive communities by connecting newcomers with local residents and businesses through 4 active local challenges focused on integration and inclusion.

Sint voor ieder Kind (Saint Nicholas for Every Child) Ensuring equal opportunities for children living in poverty by providing 10,000 children with gifts and experiences during the holiday season.

How It Works

1. De Nederlandse Uitdaging identifies local social challenges across the Netherlands
2. Businesses contribute what they have: knowledge, workforce, materials, or financial support
3. Social organizations receive practical help to serve their communities more effectively
4. Behold develops strategic partnerships to scale this model nationally
5. Impact is measured and reported to demonstrate concrete social value
