Who we are

We don't do prevention. We make visible.

Rise4Life is a Dutch foundation. We create awareness around addiction. Not to duplicate the work of others. To make the work of others stronger.

We directly support OVOM and Moedige Moeders Netherlands. By sharing stories. By holding conversations. By offering the stage to those who work every day on recovery, prevention and community.

Anchored in Article 33 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Born during the international conference in Eindhoven, March 2025.

Seven recommendations. Eight languages. One direction. Every signature is one human saying: this deserves protection.

Where your donation goes

Every euro visibly spent.

We believe donors have the right to know where their money goes. Below our five spending categories, honest and concrete.

📣

Awareness

Social media campaigns spreading our story. Better reach = more people signing the Declaration, reading The Garden, finding the network.

🎤

Events

Organising conferences, panels and gatherings, plus co-funding events of OVOM and Moedige Moeders.

🌍

Network growth

Travel, translation, international collaboration. The network only grows if we can meet and connect people.

✍️

Declaration actions

Campaigns and initiatives to bring the counter from 195 toward 10,000 signatures. Print, advertising, outreach.

⚙️

Minimal operations

Website hosting, email software, podcast tools, bookkeeping. The minimum needed to keep Rise4Life running.

Honest: Rise4Life does not have ANBI status (Dutch tax-deductible charity status), so your donation is not fiscally deductible. We have no paid staff: all three founders work unpaid. Our annual costs and spending can be requested by email via info@rise4life.eu. Our partner Moedige Moeders Netherlands does have ANBI status, if fiscal deductibility is important to you, you can donate there.

Volunteers make the network.

Rise4Life was started by three women, and we only grow further with hands and voices around us. We're looking for volunteers who want to help carry our mission and vision.

  • Spread awareness: social media, local network, word of mouth
  • Event support: co-thinking, organising, being present at events
  • Content contribution: writing, translating, podcast research, design
  • Ambassadorship: represent Rise4Life and the Declaration in your circle

No required hours. No formal commitment. But: a group of people building something together.
