CARE Luxembourg a.s.b.l.

What CARE Luxembourg a.s.b.l. does

CARE Luxembourg a.s.b.l. is a non-profit humanitarian association (association sans but lucratif) registered in Luxembourg in 2008, operating as the national office of the global CARE International confederation. The organization focuses on three programmatic areas: maternal and child health, refugee and crisis assistance, and climate change adaptation, implementing approximately 20 projects across roughly 10 countries each year (Niger, Laos, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Somalia, Myanmar, Sudan, Lebanon, Yemen, and Gaza among them) while leveraging the broader CARE International network that operates in 121 countries.

The business model is a donation-driven non-profit revenue structure with three primary streams: individual donations via three recurring monthly giving programs (CARE-Marraine/Parrain for maternal and infant health at €30-€110/month, Donateur de Coeur for girls' nutrition and education, and Partenaire du fond d'urgence for emergency response at €24-€100/month) plus one-time and event-triggered giving; corporate partnerships including the dayCARE professional orientation program engaging 90+ Luxembourg companies and 300+ youth annually, ING Night Marathon charity partnership, and direct corporate sponsorships; and institutional funding centered on a Framework Agreement with the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs (MAEE), which multiplies regular donations by 5x and provides core funding. CARE Luxembourg is accredited by the MAEE for tax-deductible donations under Luxembourg tax law, holds UN ECOSOC Consultative Status, and is a member of Don en Confiance Luxembourg.

Operations run with a lean 6-person team, distributed via digital channels (care.lu website using Fundraisingbox, email newsletter, Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube), event-based engagement (dayCARE, marathons, March of 1,000 Lights, charity concerts), and field execution through CARE International's country offices and local partner organizations. The board is led by President Sabine Augustin and includes Vice-President Jean-Paul Lehners, Treasurer Stefan Ewers, and Secretary Birgit Pfeiffer. Thomas Kauffmann assumed the Director role in November 2025, succeeding founding Director Frédéric Haupert who led the organization since inception.

Revenue model

1. Individual Donations: Individual donors contribute one-time or recurring donations through the website, bank transfers, or permanent standing orders. Regular monthly donors (CARE-Marraine/CARE-Parrain, Donateur de Coeur, Partenaire du fond d'urgence) provide predictable funding that enables project planning and allows the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to multiply regular donations by 5.
2. Corporate Partnerships: Companies engage through dayCARE (professional orientation for students), corporate sponsorship of projects, employee fundraising events, and charitable partnerships. Examples include ING Night Marathon charity partnership, H&M Conscious Foundation (women empowerment), and EIB employee donations.
3. Institutional Funding: CARE Luxembourg operates under a Framework Agreement with the Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Affairs (MAEE), which provides core funding and matches regular donations 5x. Additional institutional support comes from the Ministry of Environment, Climate and Biodiversity, and the European Investment Bank.
4. School and Community Programs: Schools participate through dayCARE professional orientation, fundraising events, and educational programs. Communes engage through partnership programs like 'Ma Commune'. These channels provide both funding and volunteer engagement.

Product overview

CARE Luxembourg a.s.b.l. is a humanitarian NGO (not a technology product company). Its offering consists of donation programs and programmatic interventions rather than a unified software product or platform. The core offering is a portfolio of regular giving programs — DONATEUR DE COEUR (monthly giving for girls' health and education), CARE-Marraine & CARE-Parrain (sponsorship of the first 1,000 days of life, with donations multiplied 5x by the Luxembourg Ministry), and CARE Partenaire du fond d'urgence (emergency response monthly giving) — complemented by programmatic intervention areas in maternal and infant health, refugee assistance, and climate change. The dayCARE corporate engagement program connects students with companies for professional orientation while raising funds. A digital maternal health application has been developed for use by healthcare workers in Laos to track pregnancies and early childhood development.
