About Hope's Future
Hope's Future was founded by three women from Fresno, California who connected over their love of animals, nature and wildlife. As mothers, they also bonded over a shared interest in preserving this world for future generations.
They realized that one of the best ways to make an impact is to directly support grassroots organizations and local businesses with grants and community outreach. These efforts would ensure smaller-scale organizations could spend more time doing the good works they were founded to do.
The causes that Hope's Future has supported thus far include providing clean water access, essential medical supplies, education, and housing for vulnerable populations of women and children. For our following projects, Hope's Future endeavors to include fundraising for no-kill animal shelters and rescue centers.
