Ebbefos Fonden
Vi oplever alle, at livet slår Knuder. Ebbefos Fonden er sat i verden for at løsne disse knuder for så mange som muligt. Vores projekter og samarbejder skal lokalisere konkrete behov hos mennesker, der mistrives, vi skal undersøge nye løsninger og hjælpen fra os skal kunne mærkes. Vi skal trives. Ebbefos Fonden er stiftet i 2021 af ægteparret Morten Ebbesen og Vibeke Nyfos og deres to døtre Lærke og Mathilde Nyfos Ebbesen. Fonden er skabt ud fra et ønske om at bidrage til forebyggelse af den stigende mistrivsel, som udgør en af de helt store samfundsudfordringer i disse år.
