Shining a Light Our Impact
2024 was a truly a year of hope ignited - all year, your generosity made amazing things happen:
We crossed the ONE MILLION dollar mark of lifetime grants awarded
We awarded 33 individual grants, providing a life-changing $210,000 to individuals and families in need right here in our community
625 people came together at Fund a Life events throughout the year, including Drive to Survive, Warriors for Hope, and Scramble for Hope
We raised over $36,000 on Giving Tuesday, showing just how unstoppable we are when we unite to ignite hope
We’re so excited to share with you our 2024 Impact Report, so that you can take a peek behind the scenes at the facts and figures of the past year, reflect on the fundraisers and events that kept us moving forward, and read the names of the individuals and organizations that stood alongside us each and every day.

The numbers in this report represent so much more than statistics - they’re people’s lives changed, and stories of how your support has forever impacted them. Stories of hope from crushing medical diagnoses, parents who could keep a roof over their kids’ heads, and individuals who finally felt seen, valued, and cared for. That’s what you made possible.
As much as we accomplished in 2024, the need in our community is staggering. Each year, the number of grant applications we receive far outweighs the funds we have to give, and that gap is growing exponentially.
Behind each application is someone with a story, a challenge, and a desperate hope for help. We need your help to keep this mission alive, to reach even more people in 2025, and to say “yes” to more families who are counting on us.
As you learn more about the impact we had in 2024, we ask you to help us keep the momentum going with a donation today, or by joining our monthly recurring donation program Hope Everlasting.
The effect that your gift will have on people’s lives, right in your backyard - across Livingston County, and across the state of Michigan, will last far beyond this moment, and could change the trajectory of someone’s life…forever.
With shining light,
