GiveRadar brings registry-based charity data to Dutch donors through Stichting Donateursbelangen

Denpasar, Indonesia, 5 August 2026. GiveRadar, the free global charity discovery and intelligence platform, is partnering with Stichting Donateursbelangen, the independent advocate for donors in the Netherlands. From today, individual charity pages on donateursbelangen.nl connect through to GiveRadar profiles, so donors can see registration details, financial breakdowns, officer records and an integrity assessment for each organization alongside Donateursbelangen's own reviews. The recognition runs in both directions: Dutch organizations that have signed the Donateursbelofte now carry that commitment on their GiveRadar profile.

Getting the data to the point of decision

GiveRadar holds records on more than 7.9 million+ charities across more than 100 countries, sourced from over 50 official government registries, together with more than 21 million officer records. Data comes from official government registries where they exist and are accessible, supplemented by authoritative third-party sources and public organizational data where they do not, with field-level provenance on every value.

Collecting that data is only half the problem. The other half is getting it in front of someone at the moment they are deciding where their money goes.

"A database of 7.9 million charities changes nothing if a donor never sees it. Donateursbelangen already reaches Dutch donors at the top of the funnel, when the decision is still open. That is exactly where transparency data has to sit if it is going to affect anything. Working with them means our data reaches people who are about to give, rather than sitting in an API waiting for someone to query it."

Matt Timmermans, founder of GiveRadar

What the data does and does not say

A GiveRadar profile shows what public sources actually record about an organization: registration status, financial breakdowns, executive compensation where it is disclosed, officer records, contact details and red flag detection.

Each profile also carries an integrity assessment. This measures operational transparency and governance, based on what an organization makes publicly available and what official registries hold. It is not a measure of program impact or effectiveness. GiveRadar is deliberate about that distinction: an organization can be well governed and fully transparent while its programs remain unevaluated, and a low assessment usually reflects thin public data rather than a concern about the organization itself. Where evidence is absent, GiveRadar says so instead of producing a confident number.

That approach is also why the assessment avoids signals that structurally disadvantage smaller and non-Anglophone organizations, such as third-party ratings and user reviews, which most charities worldwide simply do not have.

The Donateursbelofte on GiveRadar profiles

As of today, charities that have signed the Donateursbelofte with Stichting Donateursbelangen display that commitment under Verified certifications on their GiveRadar profile, visible to donors anywhere in the world rather than only to Dutch visitors.

This sits separately from the integrity assessment and does not change an organization's score. The assessment is calculated from public registry and disclosure data alone, so that organizations in countries with fewer accreditation schemes are not disadvantaged by their absence. A certification tells a donor that an independent body has verified something specific and that the organization chose to commit to it. Showing both, clearly labeled and clearly separated, gives donors more to work with than folding one into the other.

A shared interest in a verifiable sector

"The modern donor wants to know more than whether a charity is reliable. They want to understand how the organization is set up and how the money is accounted for. By combining our work with GiveRadar we raise the standard of information on our website, so donors can give deliberately and with confidence."

Jordan van Bergen, director of Stichting Donateursbelangen

For GiveRadar, the partnership is a test of a wider proposition: that organizations should become visible to donors on the basis of what they actually disclose, not on the basis of what they can afford to spend on marketing. Small, locally rooted organizations are the ones most often missed by search engines and by the donor platforms built around large international NGOs.
