What Hope at Heart Foundation does

Mission

As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.

Programs

  1. Blessings way program our blessings way program is designed to assist families during their fight against childhood, adolescent, and young adult cancer.the journey of what may seem like endless chemotherapy and radiation treatments, scans, blood transfusions, and medications is daunting. It is physically, mentally, and emotionally challenging for a child that has cancer. What most people overlook is how incredibly stressful it is for the siblings and parents.in many cases, what was a two-income household almost overnight turns into a single-income family so that a parent can be present for their child. Parents far too often struggle with fatigue and depression. The stress of giving everything they have to a sick child and having nothing left for themselves or the rest of the family can become overwhelming.the experience of having a child with cancer is incredibly stressful for the entire family as they try to navigate through this challenging journey for for this reason, hope at heart is dedicated to assisting the entire family, and we strive to meet all their special requests.

Each line starts at 100 in 2019, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2019, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.

1 of 5 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 0% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.

From the IRS filings of HOPE AT HEART FOUNDATION’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.

How concentrated its funding is

HOPE AT HEART FOUNDATION leans on a few funders — its largest provides 73% of grant income and the top three 98%; half comes from just 1 funder.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left

26% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund HOPE AT HEART FOUNDATION.

Where its funders are

100% of HOPE AT HEART FOUNDATION's grant income comes from Texas funders.

TX

Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $589 arriving through sponsors registered in 1 state is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
