About Us
NaniBoo Foundation is a mission-driven nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing social isolation and strengthening the social and emotional well-being of children, families, and older adults through meaningful intergenerational connections. We facilitate purposeful relationships between families and older adults who serve as surrogate grandparents, fostering stable, supportive, and enriching bonds across generations. Through structured programming and community-based engagement, NaniBoo promotes emotional resilience, companionship, mentorship, and a renewed sense of belonging for all participants. Our work is grounded in the belief that strong intergenerational relationships contribute to healthier families and more connected communities. By bridging generational gaps, we aim to create sustainable social support networks that enhance mental wellness, encourage mutual understanding, and reinforce the value of shared life experiences. At NaniBoo, family is defined not solely by biology, but by care, commitment, and connection.
