Transforming Families and Communities
Why Give Now
When you give to Honeycomb, your support creates a ripple effect. Honeycomb engages young people in hands-on volunteer projects, inviting them to serve alongside their parents. Through these experiences, kids gain a deeper understanding of social issues, deepen family bonds, and develop the skills and leadership needed to drive real change.
But our impact doesn’t stop there. Nonprofits across Chicago are facing an overwhelming demand for services, often without the support they need. Honeycomb helps fill the gap by mobilizing a reliable base of volunteers, providing essential resources to sustain and strengthen their work.
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 50+ local nonprofits.
Every $35 you donate mobilizes one new volunteer, $100 mobilizes a whole family and $1,200 puts a monthly program on our schedule

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!
