HHF’s Most Exciting Fundraiser Yet!
Event Overview
On October 30th Hope for the Homeless Foundation hosted its annual gala at Miller Hall in the World Forestry Center. We had a record turnout of 185 guests — and together we raised $176,000, a 38% increase over last year. The room was filled with energy, generosity, and genuine hope. The photo below captures just a glimpse of the excitement in the room.

Our Progress at a Glance
Since our inception, Hope for the Homeless Foundation has awarded four Champions Fund grants each year, one-time financial awards to new nonprofits demonstrating measurable success in helping people transition from homelessness to stability.
In 2023, we added our Evergreen Fund which provides ongoing annual support to past Champions Fund recipients that maintain or improve their outcomes. We began with two, $25,000 Evergreen Fund grants in 2023, increased to three in 2024, and this year awarded seven — for a total of eleven financial grants this year alone. Our goal is to exceed ten Evergreen Fund grants in 2026.
