Fundraise for New Hope
New Hope invites you to creatively partner with us to help local children and families achieve safety, stability, and success.
Families impacted by homelessness contact New Hope every day, desperate to find someone who can help them. We invite you to help us help more families achieve stability by organizing an event to collect supplies and/or raise money to support our mission. Whether you are 5 years old or 95 years old, you can make a difference! Read on to learn more, then submit an application to get started!
Third-Party Fundraising
Third-Party Fundraising is any special event, promotion, or sale conducted by you or your organization to benefit New Hope for Families.
You can organize a fundraiser on behalf of New Hope for Families together with your business, faith community, school group, service organization, college club, scouting group, neighborhood association, family or friends. The possibilities are endless!
Proceeds from your fundraiser will help us provide shelter and early learning programs to keep families together and lift every child into a promising future. New Hope’s services include a shelter for families impacted by homelessness and an early learning program for children from birth to age 5, prioritizing those impacted by homelessness.
$25 pays for a day of meals and healthy snacks for our early learning program
$79 provides one night of emergency shelter and support services for a child and their family
$180 supplies bus passes for 2 working parents for the length of a family’s average stay
$250 covers one week of supplies for a child in our excellent early learning program
$2,370 provides one month of emergency shelter and support services for a child and their family
