PostNL Special Moments Fund

We help connect

The PostNL Special Moments Fund works together with charities and social organizations to create more connections in society. Our employees pay attention to the neighbourhood and local residents. With various projects we provide support to people who could really use it. These projects focus on 3 areas: attention to the neighbourhood, presence in the neighbourhood, involvement with the neighbourhood.

Attention to the neighbourhood

PostNL mail and parcel deliverers visit every street every day. They know the residents, wave or have a chat on the street and at the door. Has a local resident had a baby? Or is it someone's birthday? Then our delivery people often pop a card in the post. And if they are worried because they notice something isn't right with someone, they can voluntarily and anonymously report this to local welfare organisations.

Presence in the neighbourhood

PostNL deliverers visit every street every day. This means we can deliver special mail or parcels for charities. For example, we deliver birthday packages for Stichting Jarige Job, letters to Sinterklaas, and Christmas cards for the National Foundation for the Elderly. We also help the community living rooms of the Salvation Army and support the annual children's stamp campaign by Stichting Kinderpostzegels.

Involvement with the Neighbourhood

Many PostNL employees volunteer in addition to their work. Each year, they can request a donation for the association or foundation where they volunteer. With these donations, we make things possible that wouldn't be achievable otherwise. In this way, we provide support to those who need it.

100 Years of Children's Stamps

Something special happens every year: thousands of children go door to door to sell stamps. The proceeds from the Children's Welfare stamp campaign give Stichting Kinderpostzegels the power to support children who really need it. This edition is extra special because children's stamps have been around for 100 years!
