Relief Sponsorship:
The stimulus for hope and inspiration in trying times
During COVID-19, families need help. A great way to help is by making a temporary commitment to a student, their family, and Common Hope’s crisis response efforts. Your support is greatly needed as Common Hope navigates uncharted territory, pivots program delivery, and works to meet the critical needs of these families.
As a temporary Relief Sponsor, your temporary commitment is a force for good. It becomes hope for a student and their family. Help us fund their support during COVID-19. Let’s give them hope. Together.
