Help us build something worth keeping.
We are beginning with a simple but serious goal: a community response to loneliness, isolation, and everyday needs among older adults.
What founding support would build
People, programs, and a responsible foundation.
Zekeinim's first priorities are to learn from older adults, build community relationships, establish a nonprofit with sound governance, train volunteers, and pilot a few programs in Baltimore.
Our hope is to grow with a thoughtful mix of donations, sponsors, and community partnerships after the appropriate legal steps have been completed.
Important: We are not processing contributions through this website. Zekeinim is not claiming to be an approved tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization at this time. Please do not send money based solely on this page.
A first-year vision
- Recruit a founding board and advisers
- Listen to older adults, families, and community leaders
- Develop volunteer screening and safety practices
- Pilot companionship and simple kindness programs
- Evaluate outcomes before expanding
Let's talk
Interested in helping us get started?
We welcome conversations with potential board members, donors, advisers, and community supporters. At this stage, it's a conversation about building Zekeinim, not a donation request.
