Port Authority supports JINC and 14 other regional organisations

Under the name ‘Hoge Hoed’ (Top Hat) the Port of Rotterdam Authority is making a €1,000 donation to fifteen different regional organisations for the fourteenth time.

These organisations are the Capelle Hockey Club, CrossFit Vlaardingen, OKK Sports and Gymnastics Association, the JINC Foundation, ZVV Pelikaan, Rijnmond Stray Cats Foundation, Delftland Scouting Admiralty, the Royal Netherlands First Aid Foundation, Kralingsche Sailing Club, “De Devel” Model Building Foundation, De Brugrunners Running Club, Prima Bolnes Recreation Commission, MHV Forcial, Passaat Athletics Club and WSV Herkingen Water Sports Club.

Programme manager Henriëtte Korpershoek received €1,000 from the Port Authority for her voluntary work at JINC, an organisation dedicated to helping youngsters get a good start in the job market.

Port Authority employees who are actively involved in the community in their spare time can nominate their own leisure activity for this support. At the end of each year, notes on which a brief description is written are placed in a hat and the Port Authority’s executive board draws fifteen of them at random.

This results in a list of organisations that can count on a donation. The Port Authority uses this annual event to express its appreciation for employees who help out in the community in their spare time. The Hoge Hoed ties in with what the Port Authority places great importance on: being involved in the community.
