Stichting Guts Foundation
Unfortunately, many children, young people and young adults grow up in a vulnerable environment and that is dear to our heart. That is why we have decided to found our own Guts Foundation. With this foundation, we support projects that are focused on bettering the living situations of this vulnerable group. Everyone is worthy of growing up in a secure and safe environment. The Guts Foundation is going to try her best to actively contribute to this, and motivate other to do the same. Have a little Guts!

Family & Friends Sample Sale
To support wonderful projects again this year with the Guts Foundation, we raised funds by organizing a Guts & Gusto Family & Friends Sample Sale for our staff. We did this, among other things, by selling donated products we received from Guts & Gusto. This was a successful event, and we plan to organize a new edition in the coming year.

War Child
We met our new friends from War Child Holland a year ago, and it was love at first sight. During our collaboration, we created the limited edition War S*cks, with 100% of the profits going to War Child. We were able to deliver the donations in January 2023, totalling €11.681,-. We were able to achieve this incredible amount thanks to our customers, allowing us to support the various programmes set up by War Child to assist children in conflict zones. The collaboration will continue. Do you want to learn more about War S*cks? Check out the collection here.

Hartenactie Het Vergeten Kind
We have donated €1.100,- to help the Hearts promotion from Het Vergeten Kind. We have made a gesture with all of our Gutsies via our various social media channels.

Family & Friends Sample Sale
Om dit jaar weer mooie projecten te kunnen steunen, heeft Stichting de Guts Foundation geld opgehaald door het organiseren van een Guts & Gusto Family & Friends Sample Sale voor het personeel. Dit hebben we onder andere gedaan door het verkopen van gedoneerde producten die zijn ontvangen van Guts & Gusto. Dit was een succesvol event en in het nieuwe jaar komt er weer een nieuwe editie.

WAR S*CKS voor War Child
Een jaar geleden ontmoetten wij onze nieuwe vrienden van War Child Nederland en het was meteen liefde op het eerste gezicht. Op initiatief van de Guts Foundation in samenwerking met Guts & Gusto B.V. hebben wij de limited edition War S*cks items ontwikkeld. Hiervan gaat de gehele opbrengst rechtstreeks naar War Child.
Zo hebben wij afgelopen januari 2023 de opbrengst mogen overhandigen, met als resultaat €6.681,- + een extra donatie van de Guts Foundation à €5.000,-. Mede dankzij de klanten van Guts & Gusto hebben wij dit mooie bedrag weten op te halen, waarmee wij de programma’s van War Child voor kinderen in conflictgebieden kunnen steunen. De samenwerking wordt vervolgd. Meer weten over de War S*cks? Bekijk de collectie hier.

Hartenactie Het Vergeten Kind
Om de Hartenactie van Het Vergeten Kind te steunen hebben wij een bedrag van €1.100,- gedoneerd. Wij hebben met alle Gutsies een gebaar gemaakt via onze social media kanalen.

Kerstactie Gift & Give
Tijdens de kerstdagen hebben wij een online actie georganiseerd waarbij klanten een donatie konden doen voor één van de volgende drie goede doelen: Free a Girl, War Child en Justdiggit. Wij hebben een percentage van het betreffende bestelbedrag apart gezet voor de donatie. Met deze actie hebben wij een totaalbedrag van €4.571,- opgehaald en dit hebben wij verdeeld onder Free a Girl, War Child en Justdiggit aan de hand van de donatie keuze van onze klanten.
2022
Wij hebben dit jaar voorbereidingen getroffen voor verschillende grote acties die wij komend jaar hebben georganiseerd, zoals de eerste editie van de Family & Friends Sample Sale en een speciale kerstactie.

Just Diggit
To keep our planet liveable for the next generations, we want to draw attention to an organisation that commits to this cause. Just Diggit mobilizes and connects people around the world to realize this goal. The Guts Foundation has donated €2500 to this charity.
Free a Girl
Worldwide, there are 2 million children, especially girls, that are stuck in a sitation of sexual exploitation. They are exploited, and locked up in brothels, massage salons, or garage boxes. Free a Girl works very hard to free these children, and does everything it takes to make sure that the people who exploit these children are prosecuted, even in the Netherlands. The Guts Foundation has donated €2500 to this cause this year.

Heppie Wintertour
Het Vergeten Kind organises the "Heppie Tour" for around 1.500 children yearly. On a Saturday in December, they organize an unforgettable day in the Winter Efteling. Not only just for them but also for their (foster) parents or caregivers. During this magical day, the children have a chance to be a child again. To support this cause, we have donated an amount of €5000 to this charity.
Own actions
Around the holidays, we have organised our own online action where our customers could do a donation to the charity of Het Vergeten Kind. We have set aside a percentage of the order amount for an extra donation. With this action, we raised an amount of €5.225 and donated this to Het Vergeten Kind.
The Guts Foundation
Goals
The Guts Foundation is founded on the 11th of June, 2020. It has one main goal: supporting vulnerable persons in our society. This means doing anything related to or conducive thereto. This purpose does not include making any distributions to the founder or to those who are part of the foundation's bodies.
Mission
Supporting vulnerable persons and specifically vulnerable children, young people and young adults should be done in the broadest sense of the word. This means that the Guts Foundation makes resources available for the goals it has set, including liquid assets resources, but also in other ways (such as organizing activities) tries to support this goal. The aim of the efforts of the board is not to achieve profit, but to generate funds for its stated purpose to which they wish to contribute with passion.
Vision
The board critically examines the charities to which donations are made. It is up to the board, partly by implementing a good selection policy, to ensure that charities and the above-mentioned initiatives are only supported if the funds received by these institutions actually benefit the charities. The board must take this into account when formulating the policy. The board will also develop activities within the framework of its objective.
