About Stichting Fairspace

Fairspace exists to build a world where everyone feels safe- at work, on the street, and in their communities. Harassment is pervasive, often invisible, and deeply normalised. It limits freedom, silences voices, and shapes how people move through the world every day. We believe it doesn’t have to be this way. At Fairspace, we take a community-first approach to change. We co-create solutions with the people most affected by harassment- listening to lived experiences, understanding local contexts, and building responses that are not only effective, but owned by the communities themselves. This ensures that the change we create is not temporary, but lasting. Our work spans multiple touchpoints to shift both behaviour and culture. We design and deliver 360°, start-to-end …

Mission

Fairspace’s mission is to end harassment and build a world where safety, dignity, and respect are the norm, not the exception. We believe lasting change requires more than awareness. It requires action, ownership, and cultural transformation. That’s why our work brings together community co-creation, education, policy influence, and culture-shifting initiatives to address harassment from every angle. We partner with communities to co-create solutions that reflect real needs and lived experiences. We equip individuals through digital and in-person training with the confidence and tools to act. We support companies with comprehensive, end-to-end programmes that drive meaningful change- from internal policies to everyday behaviours. And we activate public spaces through art, events, and storytelling to challenge norms and shift mindsets at scale. We also contribute our expertise to inform policy and systemic change, working with national and local governments to ensure that strategies to prevent harassment are grounded in lived experience and practical insight. By engaging across communities, organizations, public spaces, and policy, and by tapping into social and cultural trends, we extend our impact beyond individual interventions- helping to reshape the systems and norms that allow harassment to persist. Our mission is not only to respond to harassment, but to prevent it. by building cultures where respect is embedded, accountability is expected, and everyone has the power to contribute to safer spaces.

Stichting Fairspace is registered in the Netherlands. Stichting Fairspace has ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) status, so donations are tax-deductible. You can deduct gifts that exceed 1% of your threshold income (minimum 60 euros). Periodic gifts (committed for 5+ years) are fully deductible without threshold.

Stichting Fairspace is a Dutch foundation (stichting) - the most common legal form for charities and public-benefit organisations in the Netherlands. A stichting has no members, is governed by a board, and is established by notarial deed for a specific purpose. It is the only Dutch legal form that can hold ANBI (public-benefit) status without member oversight. There are about 250,000 stichtingen on file at the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KvK), of which roughly 50,000 hold ANBI status with the Belastingdienst. It is registered with the Kamer van Koophandel (KvK), the Dutch Chamber of Commerce, with RSIN 858103874.

You can verify Stichting Fairspace's legal status in three ways. First, look up the RSIN directly on the Belastingdienst ANBI register: https://www.belastingdienst.nl/wps/wcm/connect/nl/aftrek-en-kortingen/content/anbi-status-controleren and enter 858103874. The result page confirms whether the organisation currently holds ANBI status - a prerequisite for tax-deductible donations in the Netherlands. Second, search the Kamer van Koophandel public registry at https://www.kvk.nl/zoeken/ - the KvK record shows the legal form (Stichting / Vereniging / Coöperatie), registered address, board composition (where disclosed), and the date of incorporation. Third, every ANBI is legally required by the publicatieplicht to publish on its own website: the policy plan, financial statements, an overview of activities, board composition, and remuneration policy. A working ANBI page with current financials is the strongest signal of legitimacy beyond the registry. If all three sources agree on name, address and ANBI status, the organisation is legitimate.

You can donate to Stichting Fairspace directly through its donation page (https://fairspace.co/donate/). Dutch charities typically accept iDEAL (the standard Dutch online-banking payment method), Tikkie payment requests, Bancontact for cross-border donors, SEPA bank transfer to the organisation's IBAN (account numbers starting with NL), and online payment processors (Mollie, Stripe). Many larger Dutch charities use platforms like Geef.nl, GeefSamen, Kentaa, and Pifworld for online fundraising. International donors can give via SEPA (the Netherlands is in the eurozone, so intra-EU transfers are cheap), PayPal, or GlobalGiving. For donations to count as a 'periodieke gift' - fully tax-deductible without a threshold - a written agreement (overeenkomst periodieke gift) committing for at least five years is required. Always confirm the recipient's RSIN and ANBI status before sending funds intended for the tax deduction.

Stichting Fairspace carries the CBF-Erkend Goed Doel label - the Dutch quality seal awarded by the Centraal Bureau Fondsenwerving (CBF). To qualify, a charity passes a three-yearly independent audit covering governance (separation of board, oversight, and management), financial transparency (audited annual accounts, clear expense breakdown), effective use of donations, responsible fundraising practices, and a working complaints procedure. You can read the public 'CBF-paspoort' for Stichting Fairspace here: https://cbf.nl/organisaties/9112. The passport shows the most recent audit outcome and the headline financial ratios.

As an ANBI, Stichting Fairspace is legally required to publish the following information on its own website, free of charge and without a login (the 'publicatieplicht' obligation under Uitvoeringsregeling AWR 1994 art. 1a): the policy plan, an overview of the past year's activities, the financial statements (balance sheet, profit-and-loss, explanatory notes), board composition with names, and the remuneration policy for directors and key staff. Larger ANBIs (turnover above €50,000) must also publish a fuller financial report using the Belastingdienst's standard ANBI publication form. If you cannot find these documents on the organisation's website, that is a red flag worth raising with the board before donating.

Quick facts about Stichting Fairspace

What is Stichting Fairspace?
Stichting Fairspace is a community development foundation based in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Fairspace exists to build a world where everyone feels safe- at work, on the street, and in their communities. Harassment is pervasive, often invisible, and deeply normalised. It limits freedom, silences voices, and shapes how people move through the world every day. We believe it doesn’t have to be this way. At Fairspace, we take a community-first approach to change. We co-create solutions with the people most affected by harassment- listening to lived experiences, understanding local contexts, and building responses that are not only effective, but owned by the communities themselves. This ensures that the change we create is not temporary, but lasting. Our work spans multiple touchpoints to shift both behaviour and culture. We design and deliver 360°, start-to-end programmes for companies - supporting them from awareness and education through to policy, reporting systems, and long-term culture change. We help organizations move beyond performative action to meaningful, measurable impact. We also provide accessible digital and online training that equips individuals with the tools, language, and confidence to recognise, prevent, and respond to harassment in real time. These trainings are designed to be practical, engaging, and rooted in real-world scenarios. Beyond workplaces, we bring conversations into public and cultural spaces. Through pop-up events, interactive activations, and art exhibitions, we create powerful, visible moments that challenge norms, spark dialogue, and invite people to see harassment differently. Art and storytelling are central to how we shift hearts as well as minds. We meet people where they are - online and in culture - by tapping into social media, trends, and digital storytelling to reach wider audiences and influence everyday behaviour. By making the conversation relevant, relatable, and shareable, we help drive awareness at scale. In parallel, we work to influence systemic change by sharing our expertise with policymakers and institutions. We contribute to national and local conversations on safety and harassment prevention, including providing input to government bodies and shaping initiatives such as the National Action Plan in the Netherlands. By bridging on-the-ground insights with policy, we help ensure that legislation and public strategies reflect real needs and drive meaningful impact. Every part of our work is connected. Whether we are collaborating with a community, training a team, activating a public space, shaping policy, or influencing conversations online, our goal is the same: to create environments where people feel safe, respected, and able to fully be themselves.
