About IT4Kids
Every child should be able to play sports!
Every child should be able to participate in sports and games. Sports are an outlet, sports are fun, and sports are especially beneficial for a child’s development. By engaging in sports with peers, you build #skills4life, such as discipline, teamwork, self-confidence, and respect.
IT4Kids collects depreciated hardware from companies and donates its value (on behalf of the donor) to projects of charities dedicated to providing structural sports opportunities for children who otherwise wouldn’t have them due to financial or physical challenges.
Why an opportunity to play sports is so important!
By 2030, we want all children in the Netherlands to have the opportunity to participate in sports, because we believe that every child should be able to participate.
To do this, we have developed a fundraising initiative: circular IT! We collect used hardware from companies and donate the value of the hardware to charity projects that are committed to creating sustainable opportunities (to play sports) for children who otherwise would have none due to financial or physical barriers.
“If everyone donates his or her used hardware, then every child in the Netherlands will have the opportunity to play sports!”

CBF certification and ANBI status
IT4Kids is an official certified charity. On 1 July 2021, the foundation received official certification, the approval for charities, from the Centraal Bureau Fondsenwerving (CBF). This makes IT4Kids the first charity in circular IT that is CBF approved. This means that IT4Kids meets strict quality criteria.
In July 2015, IT4Kids received its Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling (ANBI) status. This makes it possible for donors to deduct gifts and donations to IT4Kids from their income tax statements.
There are two conditions related to deductibility:
- Only the amount of gifts/donations that exceed 1% of your own threshold income and that of your tax partner, if any, can be deducted. The amount to be deducted must also be at least € 60.
- The maximum deduction is 10% of the/both combined income.
