Can't find what you're looking for? Our team usually replies within one working day.
How much of my donation goes to programs?
89 cents of every dollar goes directly to programs. The rest covers fundraising and the basic admin that keeps us accountable. Our audited accounts are published every year.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Yes. Hopewell is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and you'll get an emailed receipt for every gift you make.
Can I choose which program my gift supports?
Absolutely. Pick a program on the donation page, or leave it unrestricted and we'll direct it to where the need is greatest.
How do I cancel or change a monthly donation?
Email us or use the link in any receipt. You can pause, change the amount, or cancel at any time with no questions asked.
Can I volunteer if I don't have any special skills?
Yes. Most of our volunteers start with no experience. We'll train you and pair you with someone who's done it before.
Do you accept donations of goods?
We accept new school supplies, non-perishable food and building materials. Contact us first so we can make sure it reaches the right place.
