Together, our monthly donors provide the steady support that keeps our programs growing and our mission moving forward. Your Monthly Gift Can Help Provide:
  • $10/month – Supplies for hands-on STEM and Learning Garden activities.
  • $25/month – College and career exploration experiences for students.
  • $50/month – Workforce training and career coaching for adults.
  • $100/month – Expand access to education, employment, and economic mobility for individuals and families throughout Hampton Roads.

Some of the most impactful gifts never come from a checkbook.

Many donors can make a greater impact by giving assets instead of cash. Depending on your circumstances, these gifts may provide significant tax advantages while helping expand opportunity across Hampton Roads. We encourage donors to consult their financial or tax advisor before making complex gifts.
