A Little HOPE, Inc. is a not-for-profit publicly supported charitable foundation, recognized by the IRS under 501 (c)(3), which grants funds to organizations that provide bereavement support services and grief counseling to children, teens and young adults, who have experienced the death of a parent, sibling or loved one, regardless of the circumstances of the death.
To be considered, email (no telephone calls): name of your program, your website address, name of your executive director, name of the program director, and the location of your program. No other information is needed or will be processed. Do not send letters of inquiry or any other materials unless they have been requested by A Little Hope.

If your organization has previously sent an email request for consideration, it has been reviewed and is in our active files for future reference. There is no need for you to send it again. Please do not send it multiple times. If you have previously received a grant from us there is also no need to send a request for consideration.
Grant applications are by invitation only and are sent to potential grant recipients during the month of October each year.

Our Mission
Making a Difference
Prior to the existence of A Little Hope, there was not a single national organization dedicated to raising awareness and the money to advance the growth of children’s grief support and the expansion of bereavement centers, school outreach programs and camps for grieving children and teens in the United States.
During the past 14 years, we have grown from a regional organization funding five bereavement programs in the tri-state area, into a national foundation that has funded a total of 94 organizations in 39 states. We have expanded our scope from providing bereavement support services to 350 children and teens that had a family member die in the World Trade Center, to providing services for more than 250,000 American children, adolescents and young adults.
In 2016 A Little Hope is proud to continue several innovative programs:
Comfort Zone Camp – 2nd Annual Suicide Loss Family Bereavement Camp (May)
Experience Camps for Boys & Girls – 2nd Annual Kennbyrook Experience, New York Camp (August) and Inclusion Initiative (2016-2017)
Inclusion Trainings/Community Outreach/Program Creation initiative
A Little Hope’s 2016 program support includes: Common Ground Grief Center(New Jersey); The Alcove Center for Grieving Children & Families (New Jersey); The Shore Grief Center (Wake Forest, North Carolina); Tomorrow’s Rainbow (Coconut Creek, Broward County, Florida); A Caring Hand – The Billy Esposito Bereavement Center (New York/Harlem Expansion).
A Little Hope is a proud participant in the Combined Federal Campaign through Child Aid USA CFC Code #49216.
