Fuel the Mission
Between Campaigns
Help Hope To Light stay active, prepared, and ready to serve kids and veterans in 2026 and beyond.
Why This Fund Exists
Hope To Light has reached an important transition point.
Until now, much of the foundation's work has been supported personally by its founders and through donated resources from their company. This helped launch and successfully execute Light the Shelves — but it is not sustainable if Hope To Light is going to grow and serve more kids and veterans.
The Fuel the Mission Fund allows Hope To Light to move into its next phase: a foundation that pays for its own resources, builds capacity, and prepares campaigns responsibly — instead of relying on personal subsidy.
What This Fund Makes Possible
Operational Stability
- Core operational expenses
- Website hosting & tools
- Filing and compliance costs
Campaign Readiness
- Books for Kids 2026 prep
- Balut for Bravery 2026 prep
- Partner meetings & materials
Capacity Building
- Recruit & support volunteers
- Project-based help
- Year-round outreach
This fund doesn't replace impact — it protects it.
