Community & Partner‑Led Fundraising
We’re grateful for individuals, churches, organizations, and businesses that rally others around the mission of Hope Collaborative. Whether through creative fundraisers, workplace giving, matching gifts, or community events, partner‑led initiatives help extend our reach and invite more people into the shared work of investing in students.

Every level of participation matters. Through Invest In One, generosity becomes a shared mission and a lasting impact for the students we are privileged to serve.

“Our son needed a mentor, he needed a friend, he needed an adult who could help him navigate some of these really big problems who also cared about him on a one-on-one level.  I am so grateful that his mentor was a source of stability during that difficult time.”

Lauren, Mother of a Student

“Hopefully, it did as much for the other people as it did for me. It really did divert me onto a better track.”

Oz, Diversion Program Graduate

“We need that partner, and Hope Collaborative is fantastic at this; who is consistent, who communicates, and who brings love to these kids.”

Michelle Dyer Principal of River Valley Middle School

“At a young age, Cody lost his dad. His attitude and outlook were dark. He has been with his mentor for 2 years, and the turnaround has been impactful.”

Public School Guidance Counselor

“I would love to have enough mentors that all of our kids could have a mentor because it is something that they need; it is something they crave.”
