HOPE INITIATIVE
Emergency Lifelines & Compassionate Support

HOPE is the heartbeat of the 2Wanda Community Foundation. This program offers immediate, responsive support to families, caregivers, and community organizations in crisis. Whether it’s housing, transportation, employment barriers, or basic needs, HOPE ensures that no one is left without help when they need it most.

    • Emergency housing or shelter assistance

    • Food, hygiene, and basic necessity support

    • Employment-related support for direct care professionals and caregivers (e.g., fingerprint clearance, background checks, licensing fees, transportation)

    • Temporary respite or care coordination

    • Crisis response for families navigating sudden hardship

    • Micro-grants to grassroots nonprofits experiencing urgent gaps in service delivery

    • Families or individuals facing temporary crisis or hardship

    • Direct care professionals or caregivers needing urgent support for employment-related expenses

    • Grassroots nonprofits experiencing emergency funding gaps

    • Community partners advocating on behalf of vulnerable populations

    • HOPE provides more than relief—it restores stability, dignity, and direction in times of uncertainty. Whether covering clearance fees for a caregiver to secure a new job, helping a family avoid homelessness, or keeping a small nonprofit afloat, HOPE transforms moments of crisis into opportunities for resilience and renewal.

    • Financial Goal: $25,000 per year

    • Lives Served Goal: 250 individuals and 10 grassroots organizations annually
