About us

Building on the potential of tourism as a force for good, the TUI Care Foundation supports and initiates projects which create new opportunities and contribute to thriving communities in tourism destinations all over the world. Connecting holidaymakers to good causes, it supports education and training opportunities for young people; drives the protection of natural habitats and the marine environment; and helps local communities to thrive sustainably and benefit from tourism. The TUI Care Foundation builds on strong partnerships with local and international organisations to create meaningful and long-lasting impact. The independent charitable organisation was founded by TUI, one of the world’s leading tourism businesses, and is based in the Netherlands.

As a charitable foundation, the TUI Care Foundation is managed by an independent Board of Trustees, which currently consists of five members.

The Board of Trustees steers the strategic development of the Foundation and decides on the topics and projects to be supported. The chairperson of the Board of Trustees and the members of the Board of Trustees are appointed for a period of three years and may be re-elected.

The TUI Care Foundation is based in the Netherlands and works with an international team of employees from across Europe. Within the framework set by the Foundation’s Board of Trustees, the management team is responsible for the operational work of the Foundation.

Management and other employees are remunerated for their work for the Foundation; directors and employees of the communications department receive their salaries from TUI, and programme employees from the Foundation.

As a registered charitable foundation, the TUI Care Foundation is particularly committed to the efficient and transparent use of its funds.
The foundation therefore publishes a comprehensive annual report and financial statements, starting from the first year after its reorganisation.

The annual accounts comply with Dutch guidelines for fundraising institutions (RJ 650).

High standards
The TUI Care Foundation is recognised by the Dutch tax authorities as a public benefit organisation (ANBI).
