About Us

Fundacion Mama Ties is an Aruba-based non-profit dedicated to strengthening mental health care by supporting trusted local organizations and initiatives through grants, partnerships, and community activation.

Founded by the Croes family and rooted in a long-standing commitment to community responsibility, the foundation focuses on practical, long-term efforts that improve mental well-being and quality of life across the island. We work closely with local partners to fund high-impact projects, strengthen institutional capacity, and help create safe, functional spaces where dignified care can take place.

Each year, the foundation allocates approximately AWG 200,000 through its annual grant program to support mental health organizations and initiatives in Aruba, alongside additional support for partners where it can drive meaningful impact.

Fundacion Mama Ties acts as an ecosystem partner, supporting and strengthening organizations and institutions that advance mental well-being across the island. We build long-term partnerships with local organizations by providing operational support and facilities, run an annual grant program for proven initiatives with qualified operators, and engage the Aruban community through events, conferences, and the sharing of research.

To date, Fundacion Mama Ties has donated over AWG 700,000 to partners, including funding the redevelopment CasMarie Foundation’s new facility and supporting Respaldo with the development and acquisition of a new clinic.
