Children’s HopeChest offers two dynamic programs – our Ambassador Program and our Fundraiser Program – that provide you with the tools you need to spread awareness and mobilize others to make an impact for the Kingdom.

What does it mean to Start a Fundraiser?
Children’s HopeChest’s Fundraiser Program is an excellent opportunity for individuals, groups, and organizations to mobilize their communities and raise funds for a specific project or need. Our Fundraiser Program allows you to create your own fundraising campaign tailored to your unique interests, skills, and passions, and once you reach your fundraising goal, the fundraiser is over. We provide you with the tools and resources you need to create a successful fundraiser, including customizable fundraising pages, fundraising guides, and support from our dedicated team. Whether you’re looking to engage your friends, family, and network of contacts, or maybe host a charity auction, a bake sale, or any other type of fundraising event, our Fundraiser Program offers you the flexibility and support to make a real impact.

What does it mean to Become an Ambassador?
Children’s HopeChest’s Ambassador Program is designed for individuals who are passionate about our mission and want to make a meaningful impact in the world. As an Ambassador, you’ll be equipped with the tools and resources you need to share our message with others and engage them in our work. You’ll have access to exclusive training and support, including one-on-one coaching, regular communication updates, and fundraising tips to help you succeed.
Unlike our Partner-Led Fundraiser Program, the Ambassador Program is not based on a singular project reaching a specific fundraising goal. You can be an Ambassador as long as you want and over the course of time, you may choose to support a variety of different programs and fund-raising opportunities. As an Ambassador, you’ll be part of a community of like-minded individuals who are committed to transforming the lives of vulnerable children and their communities, and you can stay involved for as long as you wish.
