Collaborating partners
Collaborating partners support NLR’s mission by funding NLR’s work.
About the Dutch Postcode Lottery
The National Postcode Lottery was founded in 1989 to support charities working towards a fairer, healthier, and greener world. The lottery raises funds for its charities and increases awareness of their work. More than 3 million participants play in the Postcode Lottery.
Everybody wins
In the Postcode Lottery, your postcode is your ticket number. And that ticket sets something positive in motion. Each month, participants have the chance to win hundreds of thousands of prizes together with their neighbours who also play. At the same time, they support more than 150 charitable organisations each year with at least 40 percent of the ticket price. That is the power of togetherness, which we call The Power of Postcodes. Since the founding of the Postcode Lottery, €8.4 billion has been donated to people and nature. NLR and many other organisations receive support every year.
Postcode Lottery Group
The Postcode Lottery is part of the Postcode Lottery Group, a social enterprise that has now introduced the unique Postcode Lottery format in five European countries. The goal is to raise as much money as possible for good causes through our lotteries. The Postcode Lottery Group is the world’s largest fundraising private donor. In 2024, it was able to donate a record amount of €969 million to charities and cultural partners. The shares of the Postcode Lottery Group are 100% owned by a foundation.
Since 1996, we are pleased to be a beneficiary of the Dutch Postcode Lottery. Their annual contribution of €1,350,000 plays an important role in serving our mission. In addition, the lottery decided in 2017 to provide crucial funding for our five-year dream fund project “Stop the transmission of leprosy!” The budget for this project supported by the lottery is €9,375,000.
EDCTP
EDCTP co-finances our PEP4LEP project. PEP4LEP administers chemoprophylaxis to contacts of leprosy patients in Mozambique, Ethiopia, and Tanzania, and compares the effectiveness and feasibility of a skin camp intervention to a health centre-based intervention.

Partnerships
Our vision is a world free of leprosy and exclusion due to disabilities. We do this by promoting and supporting health, ability and full inclusion in society for persons affected by leprosy and those living with disabilities. We are looking for partners which share our mission. Funding institutions and foundations are important in order to achieve more impact in our work.
