Eldera Unveils the Generosity Subscription: Making Healthy Intergenerational Connections Available to Every Young Person and Older Adult
On Eldera’s fourth anniversary, we celebrate all that we have built together - our incredible community, the beauty of each of your connections, and our collective impact. From a simple idea hatched during COVID lockdown, we've become a symbol of intergenerational connection. As we mark four years, the US Surgeon General and the World Health Organization declared that the need for meaningful social connections is more critical than ever. The Generosity Subscription is our response to this need, a way to scale our community's impact from thousands to millions and beyond, advancing our mission of providing sustainable and inclusive intergenerational connections.
Generosity: The Core of Eldera
Everyone joins Eldera because they have something valuable to give. Our older adults share decades of wisdom, while our youth contribute energy and fresh perspectives. This mutual sharing of gifts, and the profound generosity that is at its core, has inspired the creation of our Generosity Subscription. Crafted with our community, this model for providing for Eldera’s significant overhead is a testament to our values of Gratitude, Generosity, and Curiosity, by ensuring that everyone, regardless of geography, mobility or financial ability, can enjoy meaningful intergenerational connections.
The Generosity Subscription: A Cycle of Kindness
By joining Eldera’s Generosity Subscription, you become part of an endless cycle of generosity. Every new member experiences Eldera thanks to the generosity of someone before them. They then have the opportunity to extend this support and pay it forward to the next member—or even multiple members—ensuring that the cycle continues. This cycle encapsulates our vision - and our symbol: a world where every generation can connect, share, and build a better future together.
Three Tiers, One Mission:
• Gratitude (One $10 Monthly Subscription): For those who wish to contribute to this beautiful cycle, by welcoming the next member into our community. An act of kindness that ripples through our community.
• Generosity (Multiple $10 Monthly Subscriptions): For those inspired to broaden Eldera’s impact, covering multiple subscriptions to enable more members to join our community at no cost. This level expands the reach of Eldera, creating waves of generosity.
• Curiosity (No Cost Subscription): Our commitment to inclusivity, Curiosity subscriptions offer access to Eldera free of charge, ensuring that financial constraints never hinder the pursuit of wisdom and healthy social connection.
Our Commitment to You
By launching the Generosity Subscription, we reaffirm our commitment to building technology that benefits humanity, based on privacy, respect, and community-first principles. We promise never to sell your data, to remain ad-free, and to partner only with organizations that align with our values.
At Eldera, we believe in connections that transcend mere transactions. We've designed the platform where both the young and the old freely exchange support and insight, without any financial incentives, fostering genuine intergenerational bonds.
Your monthly subscription directly contributes to maintaining and growing our platform, enabling us to continually enhance the safety and depth of your connections. It covers our monthly costs including ZOOM, background checks, cloud space, recordings, training and resources, community platform, operations and the incredibly talented and mission aligned team who makes it all work!
Rest assured, the details of your subscription are held in the strictest confidence, solidifying a circle of trust that is fundamental to our community's ethos.
