We are truly blown away! The Help Hope Live community put compassion into action in record numbers on our third annual Hope in Action, raising over $100,000!
On May 29, 2026, we invited you and your community to increase the impact as we covered the credit card fee for all donations made in honor of a client at helphopelive.org.
Here is a recap of how communities across the country showed up and made a bigger impact than ever before during Hope in Action in 2026.
$103,073+ raised on Hope in Action day
By 10:55 a.m. ET on May 29, donations had already exceeded the total raised on the entire previous day with 44 donations and $11,360 to Help Hope Live in honor of clients.
By the end of the day, that total had easily surpassed $100,000 with an 836% increase in donations compared to the previous day.
You read that right: donations increased eightfold as Help Hope Live covered the credit card fee and communities turned hope into action.
43% increase over Hope in Action 2025
Our team was astonished to see that donations had gone up 43% on Hope in Action 2026 compared to 2025.
This increase signifies that not only is generosity still alive and well in 2026, but the spirit of giving is stronger than it’s ever been in our community.
339 donations made in honor of clients
We know how hard our clients and their communities of support worked to spread the word about Hope in Action this year, backed by our one-on-one fundraising help and customized materials.
We are thrilled that their hard work paid off and resulted in hundreds of donations to Help Hope Live in honor of clients nationwide as they fundraise to secure critical, life-altering medical and related needs.
208+ Hope in Action materials created
Clients and their communities participated in greater numbers than ever before during Hope in Action 2026.
Our Client Services and Communications teams collaborated to produce more than 208 Hope in Action customized materials for clients, from business cards and flyers to campaign pictures and beyond.
