We’re excited to launch the Pilgrims of Hope Grants—a new initiative to support projects that bring hope, healing and lasting change to communities.
These are matching grants available across our brands over the next year, designed to amplify efforts that are already making a difference—and help you dream even bigger. This program provides a 1:1 matching grant of up to $1,000 per event.
Why Pilgrims of Hope?
This name reflects the spirit of the Jubilee Year—a time of renewal, recommitment and restoration that faith communities have honored for centuries. But this isn't just for the religious—it's for anyone who believes in the power of fresh starts and bold hope. And right now, couldn’t we all use a little more of that?
