Voor Goed Agency

Voor Goed Agency exists to boost social entrepreneurship within Rotterdam. It is set up as an autonomous organization that builds an ecosystem for a social and impactful economy.Founded in 2019 as a joint initiative of the Municipality of Rotterdam and Rotterdam Partners, Voor Goed plays an important role in the forging of new coalitions and the realization of new solutions for the social issues that have faced Rotterdam for too long. It generates and fosters a willingness to pull together and contribute to projects that will benefit the city and all its residents.

Voor Goed works on making the social economy the default in the city. It is about co-creating a new creative approach to social challenges in collaboration with the municipality and other stakeholders. Furthermore, Voor Goed wants to attract and keep successful social entrepreneurs and impact investors to Rotterdam.

Together with Social Impact Fund Rotterdam, THRIVE Institute and the municipality, we form the Rotterdam Impact Coalition (RIC). In developing the Rotterdam Method, the Rotterdam Impact Coalition will lead the systematic shift that is needed to make the same improvements to the economy of the Netherlands, and hopefully with it, the rest of Europe and the world.
As the movement for a more socially and environmentally conscious economy grows, we think globally but act locally to generate an impactful change within our city. We support initiatives that accelerate participation, inclusion and the eradication of poverty. There is a lot to be gained from the experience and knowledge of the impact pioneers that Rotterdam is known for.
