Kompas Foundation
Without judgment, without a trace. We build free, anonymous tools that help people get a grip on money and Dutch bureaucracy, and take the next step themselves, in their own language.

01The problem
A debt that grows, a benefit no one told them about, a deadline that passes while life happens. To get help, they must speak Dutch, book an appointment, and find the courage to explain themselves to a stranger. So they wait, until it becomes a crisis. And every year the group grows.

02Our answer
Not everyone who uses this is in crisis. Some are simply making sure they understand their finances before anything becomes a problem, and that is reason enough. A case worker is not always available, wanted, or needed, but when one truly is, we make sure you know exactly who to call and what to say.
The Dutch system is complicated enough. Our tools work in the language you think in.
Nothing you share is stored. No account, no file, no trace. The people who need help most can afford exposure the least.
03First project
An anonymous AI guide for anyone stuck in money matters: the letter you do not dare to open, the benefit you are missing, the debt that grows. Free, in more than twenty languages, with nothing ever stored.
Status: in preparation. We are looking for founding funders.
04The team
Our careers were spent building the systems that large financial institutions run on. That same skill now serves the people those institutions were never built to reach.
05The ask
Financial Kompas does not exist yet. That is exactly when your support makes the difference.
