Imagine how it must feel for a young person navigating today's world. In these challenging times, both here and around the globe, the importance of Honeycomb's work cannot be overstated. Providing young people with a sense of hope, fostering community connection, and instilling empathy are more important than ever.

Honeycomb needs your support now to expand our programs. 100% of your tax-deductible gift helps fuel our work - engaging thousands of kids in meaningful, high-impact projects with 40+ local nonprofits.

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 of their favorite Honeycomb programs.

From hosting a pop-up shop with DIY crafts and seasonal flowers to whipping up delicious treats with classmates, or setting up a fundraising page on social media, kids can learn the craft of making a difference.

Become a Pollinator

Honeycomb Pollinators is your family’s opportunity to sponsor a year of programming for your favorite projects. Much like how honey bees grow bountiful gardens, Honeycomb Pollinators fortify our programs and grow the Honeycomb hive.

This family-focused opportunity connects your children to your family’s philanthropy while providing an insider view of The Honeycomb Project. Beyond volunteering at our projects, Honeycomb Pollinators are partners in growing our organization. Your family will help inform program plans, convene with other supporters, and set and example for new Honeycomb families.

There are so many ways to give – and with Honeycomb Pollinator sponsorships starting at just $1,200 per program, children can help raise funds for Honeycomb too (think birthday parties and bake sales)!
