Social Return on Investment
Make social impact visible
Social return is more than just an obligation; it is an opportunity to create social value. The Museum of Humanity is a social enterprise that brings people together, highlights talent, and contributes to an inclusive society.
Through our projects, workshops, and gatherings, we transform SROI (Social Return on Investment) budgets into tangible impact for individuals, organizations, and municipalities. Together, we create space for greater understanding, equal opportunities, and connection.

Connecting newcomers with fellow city residents
Through 'I See You!' ('Ik zie jou!'), we bring newcomers and local residents together based on shared interests, work, or passions. These encounters are captured in striking portraits and personal stories. In doing so, we foster connection and build an inclusive community where everyone counts. With the help of your SROI (Social Return on Investment) contribution, we are able to bring this project to new municipalities.

Through School of Humanity, we provide workshops for students and training for teachers within practical secondary education, secondary special education, and entry-level vocational education (MBO level 1). By engaging in creative assignments focused on identity, self-confidence, and respect, young people discover that they are valued just as they are and that everyone matters. Your SROI contribution makes these workshops and training sessions possible.

"Many organizations have contracts with municipalities that include a mandatory SROI (Social Return on Investment) component. As a recognized social enterprise and a member of Social Enterprise Nederland, the Museum of Humanity offers an excellent opportunity to put these funds to socially meaningful use.
For instance, you could host a team day at the museum and allocate a portion of the invoice toward SROI, or contribute funds that enable us to carry out projects for newcomers, students in vocational or special education, and disadvantaged youth. My experience with this has been fantastic. Would you like to know how it works? Please feel free to get in touch."
Koel Jeugdzorg used SROI funds to contribute to the 'Ik zie jou!' ('I See You!') exhibition in Hoorn.

Would you like to collaborate?
Do you also believe that art can contribute to societal transition? That stories can connect people where systems reach an impasse?
Ruben Timman would welcome a conversation with you about a potential collaboration—whether one-off or ongoing. It’s not about him doing something *for* you, but rather about working together to set something in motion.
