Your contribution helps match more young people and seniors with each other.
Good support
We invest in carefully supporting every match.
Growth in the neighbourhood
With your support, we expand to more neighbourhoods and cities.
Legacy
Leave a gift to Careibu
What do you want to pass on?
What remains of what mattered to you in life?
Perhaps you believe, as we do, in a society where people look out for each other. A legacy to Careibu Foundation helps future generations experience that connection too.
A society in which we look out for each other
For 17 years, Careibu has brought young people together with seniors and children who could use a little extra attention or company. Coffee, a walk, or simply a conversation: small encounters that can mean a great deal. Company for a senior, a role model for a child, and for a young person the experience of mattering to someone else.
Pass connection on
By including Careibu Foundation in your will, you help us keep finding and supporting new buddies. Several people have already gone before you. We find that very special.
Your gift goes to Careibu Foundation, our ANBI foundation, and benefits that mission in full.
