Our generous supporters

Donors of The Resilient Hope Foundation are the pillars that allow us to help thousands of families that need grief support. 

We are grateful to businesses, organizations, and individuals that have partnered with us to fund the variety of support services that we offer. We also appreciate those who have donated goods, expertise, and volunteer hours.

volunteer opportunities

If you are looking to help us help others, we have a lot of ways that you can get involved: financial donations, partnerships, in-kind support, and volunteer opportunities.

Financial donations can be one-time, monthly, as gifts, event sponsorships, or even funding for childcare programming. You can also donate an event space, catering services, counseling sessions, entertainment services, gift cards for families, or your own professional services. And if you just aren’t sure where to start, we love having volunteers to help with event support and set up, administrative assistance, photography/videography, and other professional skills like marketing or accounting.
