Jeroen as our new CCO!

October 7 2024

We are proud to introduce Jeroen Elsinga as our new CCO!

Our mission is to make doing good as easy as possible and to create as much impact as we can for a better world. To achieve this, we aim to grow even more, until #PayrollGiving is a standard benefit offered to every employee across the Netherlands. This way, employees can support charities directly from their salary, with tax benefits, for maximum impact.

That’s why Jeroen has joined our team. He’s a true entrepreneur with extensive experience in HR and commerce, and has recently been focusing on his own initiative, #moralambition, through various projects such as JINC, Kletsmaatjes, Windesheim, and Hanze University of Applied Sciences. He now combines his commercial skills and moral ambition in his role as CCO at The Social Handshake, and we couldn’t be more excited!

Jeroen’s goal is to make Payroll Giving as common in the Netherlands as it is in the UK, the US, and many other countries. We may be a little behind here, but that’s about to change!

We have a model where 100% of donations go directly to the charities. This is made possible because companies offer Payroll Giving to their employees. For employees, this means that 1 euro can be worth up to 3 euros for the charity! Would you like your company to offer Payroll Giving as well? Please contact Jeroen.
