Host a Third-party Fundraising Event
Make a difference for children–your way.
Hosting a third-party event is a meaningful and creative way to support children at EverHope while engaging your own network of friends, family, coworkers, or customers.
Whether it’s a birthday fundraiser, company drive, fitness challenge, or community event, your effort helps provide safety, stability, and hope for children in crisis.

What Is a Third-party Event?
A third-party event is a fundraiser organized by an individual, group, school, business, or faith/community organization to benefit EverHope.
How it Works
You plan and host the event
Invite participants
Collect donations!
Then, designate the proceeds to support our mission.
Popular examples include:
Company or employee-led giving campaigns
School spirit nights or student-led drives
Fitness challenges (walks, runs, yoga, spin)
Restaurant give-back nights
Garage sales, bake sales, or craft fairs
Holiday or special-occasion drives
No matter the size, every event makes an impact.
Why Host an Event for EverHope?
When you host a third-party fundraiser, you:
Directly support children who have experienced abuse, neglect, or crisis
Raise awareness about EverHope in your community
Inspire others to get involved and give back
Turn a moment, milestone, or gathering into lasting impact
Your generosity helps ensure children have a safe place to land and caring adults to support them during their toughest moments.

While third-party events are independently organized, we’re happy to support you with:
Event guidelines and best practices
Sample language about the Shelter and our mission
Logos and basic brand assets (upon approval)
Guidance on donation submission and recognition

To protect the children we serve and our nonprofit status:
Events must align with EverHope’s mission and values
The Shelter must be listed as the beneficiary, not the event host
All promotions should clearly state the event is hosted in support of EverHope
Funds raised should be submitted within 30 days of the event
Use of our logo, name, or images requires prior approval
