The Social Fund of Archive-IT donates each quarter to (local) good causes, beautiful initiatives, and special actions. We are able to do this because all employees set aside a portion of their profit share, which is then matched by the management. In the first quarter of 2024, we have made various donations, which we are pleased to inform you about.
Maria Auxiliatrix Run
The M.A. Run in Venlo is an annual event where people with disabilities are given the opportunity to participate as passengers in a sidecar ride. It's much more than just a ride; it's an experience that provides them with a sense of freedom and adventure. It's an unforgettable weekend of celebration! Additionally, the event helps raise awareness about the needs and possibilities of people with disabilities.
NAH Eindelijk
NAH Eindelijk is an organization dedicated to supporting people with Acquired Brain Injury (ABI). Our donation supports their mission to provide innovative, tailored assistance. This includes investments in high-quality materials, research into new approaches, and collaboration with multidisciplinary teams. The donation contributes to activities such as coaching programs and awareness initiatives. In this way, it helps enhance the independence and well-being of people with ABI and improve their quality of life.
Isa Heesbeen
Isa Heesbeen was diagnosed with a rare and incurable form of liver cancer. Despite this challenge, she decided to make her dream of starting her own business a reality. She designed the ISA stool, with a portion of the proceeds being donated to KWF Cancer Control. With determination and creativity, Isa uses her personal experiences to inspire others while also contributing to the fight against cancer.
Recently, we received the terrible news that Isa has passed away. On behalf of Archive-IT, we wish her family and loved ones much strength in dealing with this immense loss. Fortunately, her dream will not be lost, as her family has decided to continue her legacy.
VieAmi
Children in the hospital receive a set of LEGO, designed by Arne Dielis and Sander van Kreijl. With these LEGO animals, children can express their creativity and show emotions by changing the eyes of the animals. This is the initiative of VieAmi, an organization dedicated to the well-being of sick children.
Kinderhospice Kwatro
Kinderhospice Kwatro is there for severely and/or terminally ill children aged 0 to 18 and their families. They provide care focused on four key areas. Firstly, they offer 24/7 care in collaboration with parents, caregivers, and medical staff, ensuring a comprehensive approach to pediatric care. They also offer support to parents, providing a space for sharing experiences and finding comfort. Emotional support is given to the siblings of the sick children as well. In addition, Kinderhospice Kwatro invests in the professional development of healthcare professionals to improve pediatric care in the Netherlands. With an accredited training program in development and the status of an ANBI-approved organization, Kinderhospice Kwatro is dedicated to the well-being of sick children and their families.
Ronald McDonald Huis Sophia Rotterdam
For over 35 years, the Ronald McDonald House Sophia Rotterdam has brought parents closer to their sick children. With eleven locations spread across the Netherlands, parents and family members can stay within walking distance of the hospital. The Ronald McDonald House Sophia Rotterdam, also known as a 'home away from home,' offers parents the opportunity to read a bedtime story to their child before going to sleep.
You too can suggest charitable causes that could benefit from a one-time donation. These will be reviewed by the Social Fund, and who knows, we may be able to help. Together we are strong! Contact us at sociaalfonds@archive-it.nl.
