Our Mission, Vision, and Purpose
Our mission is to support those who selflessly dedicate themselves to serving and helping others. Through Giving to Givers, we honor Gabby’s spirit of generosity by empowering individuals and organizations committed to kindness, care, and meaningful service. We do this by providing financial assistance, fostering connections among like-minded people and groups, and sharing stories of extraordinary compassion to inspire others. We believe kindness, care, and generosity are gifts meant to be shared, and just as Gabby did so naturally, we are committed to continuing her legacy of caring and healing.
Our Mission
Our Vision
We envision a world in which every person treats others as they themselves wish to be treated. We believe communities can be strengthened, and lives changed, through individual acts of compassion, generosity, and care. Gabby’s gift for encouraging, uplifting, and inspiring others lives on through those who carry her spirit forward.
Just as Gabby did, this vision can take shape in many ways:
✓ Supporting a promising occupational therapy student with funding to continue their education
✓ Helping a child in need of healing gain access to occupational therapy services and greater independence
✓ Spreading kindness to those who, like Gabby, so freely give of themselves to others
✓ Creating opportunities that reflect the thoughtfulness, compassion, and care Gabby showed to everyone around her
✓ Partnering with organizations and individuals who share Gabby’s spirit and commitment to doing good
✓ Organizing events that honor Gabby’s giving heart while raising funds to advance our mission
Our Purpose
The foundation exists to honor Gabrielle Kraft Buckman’s unwavering spirit of generosity and love. She devoted her life to uplifting others and left an enduring mark through her kindness and selflessness. Her profound impact on countless lives, whether through deep relationships or brief encounters, speaks to the depth of her compassion. This foundation stands as a tribute to Gabby’s boundless love and to her passion for giving to those who give so much of themselves to others. By honoring her memory, we aim to continue the legacy of kindness, care, and generosity she so naturally embodied. It is also a reminder that even the simplest acts of kindness can create a lasting impact.
Through this work, we hope to carry Gabby’s light forward and ensure the world never forgets the extraordinary soul she was.
Help us carry the torch of kindness in your own unique way and create a world shaped by the enduring ripple effect of Gabby’s love, compassion, and generosity.
