Crowdfunding voor Clubs

Arvostelu

Crowdfunding voor Clubs is a Dutch crowdfunding platform built specifically for sports clubs and cultural organisations, operated by SponsorVisie B.V. of Amstelveen. It combines two financing models on one platform: donation-based crowdfunding campaigns and club-bond (obligatie) financing, in which supporters lend money to a club and are repaid over time with interest.

Pricing follows two tracks. The variable track deducts a 7.5% fee per donation received, stated as inclusive of Dutch BTW (VAT) and covering hosting, helpdesk, and system costs, plus an iDEAL transaction cost of roughly EUR 0.30 per donation handled through the payment provider Mollie. Alternatively, clubs can take an annual subscription of about EUR 1,149.50 including 21% VAT (around EUR 907.50 for existing SponsorVisie or Obligatieplan licence-holders), which replaces the 7.5% variable fee and becomes cost-effective above a certain fundraising volume. Donors themselves pay nothing beyond their contribution.

Its strength is purpose-built tooling for the Dutch club sector and the option to combine donations with bond financing, giving clubs more ways to fund facilities and projects. The trade-offs are a single-country, Dutch-language focus and a variable fee that is higher than tip-based platforms, making the subscription track important for larger campaigns. For Dutch clubs raising recurring or larger sums the model is well-suited; smaller one-off campaigns may prefer a lower-cost alternative.

Payments are processed through Mollie via iDEAL, the dominant Dutch online payment method, with funds distributed to the club and payouts made on a regular monthly basis under a keep-it-all model.
