Transforming Families and Communities
Why Give Now
When you give to Honeycomb, your impact is twofold. You’re helping kids grow into compassionate leaders—and strengthening the nonprofits that serve our city. Each hands-on project connects families to real community needs, deepens empathy, and builds the next generation of changemakers.
Every dollar fuels this dual impact.
$35 mobilizes one volunteer, $100 engages a family, and $1,200 brings a monthly program to life.

Family FUNdraising
We believe that giving back is a family affair, and kids of all ages have the power to support causes they're passionate about. Our family-friendly fundraising initiatives empower youth to rally their friends, family, and local community to support their favorite Honeycomb programs.
From hosting a pop-up shop with DIY crafts and seasonal goodies to whipping up delicious treats with classmates, or setting up a fundraising page on social media, kids can learn the art of making a difference.
Become a Pollinator
Honeycomb Pollinators is your family’s opportunity to take the lead by sponsoring a year of programming and address the issues your family are most passionate about. Much like how honey bees grow bountiful gardens, Pollinators fortify our programs and grow the Honeycomb hive.
This family-centered opportunity involves your children in your family’s philanthropy. Beyond volunteering at our projects, Honeycomb Pollinators have an insider view of The Honeycomb Project. Your family will help inform program plans, convene with other supporters, and set an example for new Honeycomb families.
There are so many ways to give – and with Honeycomb Pollinator sponsorships starting at just $100 per month, we’ve even had children use birthday parties or bake sales to raise their own funds!
