We are the Schiphol Fund

Schiphol Fund Chairwoman

I experience how wonderful it is to move every day when I take my bike from my hometown of Haarlem to work in Hoofddorp. Movement and cycling are things that make me feel happy and great. My 3 boys also exercise a lot with football, running and other fitness activities. I hope everyone gets to enjoy exercise and sport, and the Schiphol Fund helps with that. I think it's an honour to contribute to the Schiphol Fund's objectives, in which exercise is central to everyone's well being.

Treasurer of the Schiphol Fund

Sport and exercise are vital for a healthy and connected society. As treasurer of the Schiphol Fund, I am committed, together with the other board members, to supporting sports clubs in the wider area around Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. It is wonderful and rewarding work that reflects the airport’s neighbourliness.

Since its establishment in 1994, the Schiphol Fund has been able to help countless clubs and get thousands of people moving. The fact that I can contribute to this as a board member is great.

Sport is also an indispensable part of my own life. I clear my head in the gym a few times a week and go outside for a walk every day. I am convinced that this makes you better in all areas.

Schiphol Fund Board Member

Sports and exercise are at the heart of what the Schiphol Fund stands for. For me, they are also a natural part of everyday life. I cycle to work every day, and in our family the week revolves largely around exercise, from hockey, ice skating and dancing to running and Hyrox. And then there are the regular walks with our young dog.

Exercise is hugely valuable to me, and I want everyone to be able to enjoy it. As a board member of the Schiphol Fund, I believe it is important that sports and exercise are accessible to young and old alike. Sometimes this requires a little extra support, or just that gentle push to get (back) into shape. That is exactly how the Schiphol Fund wants to make a difference.

Schiphol Fund Board Member

Exercise is very important for everyone. It helps me to find balance in daily life. My daughter does a lot of sports: hockey, gymnastics, free running and skateboarding. I see how happy it makes her. That’s why I wholeheartedly contribute to the ambitions of the Schiphol Fund. I ensure that we pay enough attention to sports clubs in neighbourhoods with socio-economic disadvantages and little greenery. Having an easily accessible sports club in the neighbourhood can really give children an extra boost.

Board member Schiphol Fund

I’m glad to be involved in the Schiphol Fund as a board member. My history with sport (hockey, to be precise) means I know how nice it is to be able to practise sports indoors and outdoors. Sport also really helped my personal development, and that’s something I wish for everyone. There’s something magical about doing exercise or playing sports with others. You get to know yourself and each other better and it leads to many life-long friendships.

Financial coordinator Schiphol

As the financial coordinator at Royal Schiphol Group, I’m in charge of all the financial matters for the Schiphol Fund. I also do my best to attend all the presentations – they bring the facts and figures to life. It’s rewarding, helping sports clubs to make their initiatives a reality.

Schiphol Fund Secretary

I am delighted to serve as secretary of the Schiphol Fund. Sport and exercise are important for health, socialising and enjoyment. As secretary, I gladly contribute to the careful allocation of resources. With this fund, Schiphol supports initiatives that really add something to the local community.
