Hope Harbour runs on community support. Every dollar lets us answer one more crisis call, fund one more first-month-rent, or keep one more child in the same school during a hard transition. Ninety cents of every dollar goes directly to the victims and survivors we serve.
Each path channels into the same shelter, hotline, and direct services. Pick the one that fits how you give.
Single donation in any amount. Routed through Network for Good. Tax-deductible receipt automatic.
Recurring monthly gift. Sustained funding that lets us plan beyond the next event. Modify or cancel any time.
Give in memory of someone affected by DV, or in honor of a survivor in your life. Family is notified if you wish.
Bequests, life insurance designations, donor-advised fund grants, stock gifts. Contact us for documentation.
