The Board of Trustees of the HOPE Foundation of Jo Daviess County extends its thanks to all who supported our 18th annual golf outing at the Galena Golf Club on October 1.

The HOPE Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable corporation that provides grants to individuals with disabilities and the agencies that serve them in Jo Daviess County. Over $130,000 in 100 grants have been awarded within the past two years in support of education, employment, health, housing, and transportation needs.

Here is one HOPE grant recipient’s response to support for their disabled family member:

“Your gift does far more than help offset expenses. It reminds us that we are not
carrying this burden alone. On behalf of our entire family, thank you for your
compassion, your generosity, and the mission of the HOPE Foundation. Please
extend our gratitude to every donor, volunteer, and board member who makes
this work possible. Their kindness has touched our family in a way that words
cannot fully describe.”

The HOPE Foundation’s golf event is our only annual fundraiser. Your participation this year truly makes a difference in our community! Thank you for your support!

This year, the Hope Foundation provided 60 grants to individuals and community agencies in Jo Davies County. This is an increase of 15 grants over FY 24/25 and an increase of 24 from FY 23/24.

Through our community agency grant recipients, we’ve provided about 700 meals to disabled seniors in JoDaviess County via the Golden Meals program, helped with a wheelchair lift for a local school, helped Kreider Services purchase safety and monitoring equipment for the independent living home, helped River Ridge School purchase accessible playground equipment, and much more.

Some of the notable individual grants included money toward a prosthetic eye, a scooter for an amputee, two different lift chairs, siding on a home of two disabled adults, and a special mattress for a quadriplegic. In addition, we helped with many overdue bills–especially related to car repairs, car payments, electricity, rent, and medical expenses.

Our total grant and gifting for the 2025-2026 year was $70,916, more than $10,000 more than last year.

Thank you to all of our Hope Foundations supporters. Your donations and support help make this all possible.
