Get Involved

So, you want to be a part of The Hope Project for Kids?

First of all—YES! We love you already.

Second—there are so many ways you can jump in, spread joy, and make a real difference for families facing a rare disease.

Whether you’re a people person, a behind-the-scenes ninja, or just really good at cheering others on, we have a place for you.

And trust us, getting involved isn’t just about giving—it’s about being part of something bigger, something magical, something that brings hope to families who need it most. So, let’s get to it!

Donate (AKA: Be a Hope Hero!)

Let’s be real—running a nonprofit and helping families takes more than just good vibes (though we love those too!). Your donations help us provide financial relief, unforgettable experiences, and much-needed support to families facing rare diseases. Every dollar makes an impact, whether it’s covering the cost of medical travel, funding a birthday surprise for a child, or helping a parent take a much-needed break. Your generosity is the heartbeat of our mission, and we stretch every donation to make the biggest difference possible.

Where Does Your Donation Go?

Your support helps us fund essential medical needs like wheelchairs, adaptive technology, and life-saving treatments.

It also brings joy and connection through events, care packages, and memory-making experiences for families who deserve a break from the stress of medical appointments.

Beyond that, we use funds to support awareness and advocacy efforts, pushing for better resources and research for rare diseases.

Every dollar is a step toward hope, relief, and real change.

At the end of the day, your donation isn’t just money—it’s hope, relief, and a reminder to these families that they’re not alone.

Volunteer (Because You’re Awesome!)

We love our volunteers more than coffee (and that’s saying something). Whether you have an hour, a weekend, or unlimited free time (jealous), we’d love your help! Volunteering with us isn’t just about showing up—it’s about bringing energy, kindness, and joy to families who truly need it. From hands-on event help to behind-the-scenes magic, there’s a way for everyone to get involved.

Do you love meeting new people and making kids smile? Help out at our events!

Whether it’s running a game booth at our circus-themed launch party or making sure our families feel welcomed at a picnic, you’ll play a role in making magic happen.

Prefer working in your pajamas? We need behind-the-scenes volunteers too! From stuffing envelopes to running social media campaigns, every little task helps us grow our impact.

Have a special skill? We’d love to hear how you can use it to support our mission!

How You Can Help:

Event Volunteers – Help us throw epic fundraisers, family fun days, and more!
Behind-the-Scenes Helpers – Love spreadsheets, emails, or social media? We need you!
Creative Contributors – Photographers, graphic designers, writers—we’d love your talent!
Family Support Volunteers – Be a friend to a family in need. Sometimes, just knowing someone cares makes all the difference.

Not sure how you’d like to help? Reach out! We’ll find the perfect role for you—whether it’s stuffing gift bags or leading a conga line at an event.

Spread the Word (AKA: Become a Hype Squad Member!)

If you love what we do, tell the world! The more people who know about The Hope Project for Kids, the more families we can help. And let’s be real—who doesn’t love a good excuse to share something heartwarming? Social media is powerful, and a simple like, share, or comment can introduce our mission to someone who needs it.

Want to take it up a notch? Host a fundraiser!

Whether it’s a bake sale, a charity workout class, or a birthday fundraiser, your creativity can turn everyday activities into support for families in need.

And if you love rocking cool swag, we’re launching merch soon—because nothing says “I support a great cause” like a comfy t-shirt and a sticker-covered water bottle.

Ways to Spread the Word:

Follow us on social media and share our posts. (Bonus points if you make your mom follow us too.)
Host a fundraiser—bake sale, trivia night, charity yoga class? You do you!
Start a birthday fundraiser—because who really needs another scented candle?
Just talk about us! Tell your friends, coworkers, your barista… anyone who will listen!

And hey, if you have an idea for how to spread the word that we haven’t thought of, let us know! We’re always up for something fun.

Attend an Event (AKA: Party with a Purpose!)

We don’t do boring. We do FUN. From circus-inspired launch events to family-friendly festivals, we’re always dreaming up exciting ways to bring people together and make a difference.

Imagine a Halloween festival with trick-or-treating and a costume contest, a Winter Wonderland with fake snow and hot cocoa, or a pet parade where kids and dogs unite for a day of cuteness overload.

Every event we host is designed to raise awareness, fund support programs, and most importantly—bring joy to the families we serve. Plus, they’re a great excuse to get out, have fun, and do some good at the same time.

The Greatest Showman-Inspired Launch Party – A night of magic, music, and meaning! Expect circus performers, games, and lots of surprises.
Hope & Haunts Halloween Festival – Trick-or-treating, costume contests, and kid-friendly spooky fun!
Winter Wonderland Extravaganza – Snowball fights (even if it’s fake snow!), hot cocoa bars, and holiday magic.
