Among health charities registered in Netherlands: It allocates 90% of expenses to programs, above the peer average of 79%. Its annual revenue of €36M is well above the peer average of €11M.

Stichting Rutgers is registered in the Netherlands. Stichting Rutgers 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 Rutgers 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 007935018.

You can verify Stichting Rutgers'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 007935018. 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 Rutgers directly through its donation page (https://rutgers.nl/over-rutgers/steun-ons/doneren/schenken/). 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 Rutgers 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 Rutgers here: https://cbf.nl/organisaties/447. The passport shows the most recent audit outcome and the headline financial ratios.

As an ANBI, Stichting Rutgers 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.

Ga je diep schamen!

Mijn vorige review is helaas weggehaald, waarschijnlijk omdat Rutgers de waarheid niet aan kan. Ik zie net reclame van jullie wat gaat over praten over seksualiteit met je kind, dat kind wat staat afgebeeld is +/- 2 jaar oud. Zijn jullie wel goed bij jullie hoofd? Ga je diep schamen als je hieraan meewerkt!

Waarschuwing!

Mijn ervaring met Rutgers was teleurstellend. De communicatie verliep slecht, de organisatie liet te wensen over en afspraken werden vaak niet nagekomen. Het team oogde ongeorganiseerd en deadlines werden regelmatig niet gehaald. Over het algemeen voldeed de dienstverlening niet aan de verwachtingen. Ze zijn 1 ster ook niet waar, best triest.

Mijn vorige review is wederom…

Mijn vorige review is wederom weggehaald door Rutgers.nl. Het geeft goed aan hoe Rutgers.nl met kritiek omgaat. Veel ervaring gehad met Rutgers en meerdere cursussen gedaan ( Girls Talk, Maar a Move). Dat was ruim 10 jaar geleden. Rutgers.nl is niet meer de uiterst vakkundig en zeer professionele organisatie die her was. Het is een voor mij zeer grenzelpos en lastgevend onderwijs aanbod geworden. Kinderen die op veel te vroege wijze ongevraagd worden blootgesteld aan sexueel gedrag en opvattingen. Een politiek agenda gesponsord door Gates Foundation en IPPF en de SDG goals van het WEF. Op kritische vragen en emails wordt je geblokkeerd en weggezet als extreem rechts.

★★★★★ Rutgers is een hele fijne organisatie…

Rutgers is een hele fijne organisatie om mee samen te werken. Ze willen het beste voor de samenleving en blijven zich daar ook hard in maken. Ondanks de nare reacties die ze regelmatig over zich heen krijgen. En dat vind ik heel mooi om te zien. Ik raad Rutgers met heel mijn hart aan, aan iedereen die seksuele gezondheid en seksualiteit (en alles daaromheen) belangrijk vindt.
