Support Net4kids

Net4kids project sponsors actively choose who and what they support. You give a water well to that village, a teacher to that school, or shelter and schooling to this street child. On this website, you can see how the well, the teacher or street child is doing. Twice per year, you get a personal progress report via e-mail, detailing the exact effects of your donation.

This site provides extensive information regarding the nature and content of each aid project. You can make a selection, or search specifically for a project that suits your interests or budget. To do this, use our project selector at the right side of this page.

There are always projects that face unexpected costs. Or projects that need a little something extra to get started. That’s where Max’s Magic Money Fund comes in: a flexible reserve for projects that need it the most. Give whatever you want As a sponsor of Max’s Magic Money Fund, you determine what you want to give. This makes Max’s Magic Money Fund more flexible than a ‘normal’ project. All donations are welcome. Small or large. Over the past year, Max’s Magic Money Fund was used for a number of projects, including for street children in Nepal. See example report (in Dutch pdf).

As a sponsor, of course you will also be informed of what happens with the funds in Max’s Magic Money Fund. You will receive a personal report by e-mail twice per year detailing every cent spent on the projects helped thanks to the fund.

Christmas package: a choice Just like many other companies, Deloitte had to decide whether to distribute regular Christmas packages, or use the money to support a charity. Deloitte decided to leave the choice up to the employees. Deloitte employees could donate the value of their Christmas package to one of four selected projects.

Individual and group reporting
In total, 1220 colleagues donated their Christmas package sum to Net4kids projects. Each participant received individual reports per e-mail, and a special site was available at company level where everyone could follow the general progress, and where the activity was placed in a corporate perspective.

It cuts both ways
Combined with regular news reports via the internal media, the activity created stronger cohesion between employees. And thanks to the over 100,000 euros raised, many more children in India, Nepal, South Africa and Brazil were supported.

Reports differ per project. When sponsoring a child, you get individual child reports. Dependant on the project you get regular progress reports and reports of prject visits. And of course the annual reports.

All Net4kids child aid projects are split up into different sections you can sponsor. For example, a school needs books, but also a teacher and a classroom. The amounts needed for each project part vary from 12 to 36,000 euros. You can donate as a company and tell people about it, but you can also actively involve your employees, your shareholders or your customers. Make them a part of the project selection procedure, and ask them to actively contribute to supporting that project. Employees may donate overtime or their Christmas package, for example.

Or ask clients to help achieve the project goals by providing goods or funds. Organise an event for key internal and external stakeholders, and donate part of the proceeds to the project. The possibilities are endless. We would be glad to help you come up with creative initiatives for your company. It’s worth it for your company as well as for the children you will help. Because the most successful initiatives are those that best suit your individual situation: your company, your product or service, your vision and your strategy.

Your enthusiasm and efforts clearly influence the contribution corporate philanthropy can have in a company. Place project support within a clear company framework and tell your stock holders, clients and employees. You will see that your involvement will create involvement among your stakeholders as well.

We have a full array of aids, including a video and powerpoint presentations and a factsheet that briefly outline what Net4kids stands for.
