Share the Art of Sobriety

Become a Matching Donor with a donation of $500 or more!

With your help, we will raise $100,000 in 24 hours to support our programs. Our capstone program, Make Your M.A.R.C.®, empowers youth ages 12 to 19 at risk of or in recovery from Substance Use Disorder. We do this with the help of Matching Donors, our Board, teams, our community, and the compelling mission of Hope Creates, which serves more than 400 youth and adults annually on their journey of recovery through the exploration of expressive arts.

This year, Match Donors who are residents of Missouri who give $500 or more are eligible for the Youth Opportunity Program (YOP) tax credit. Contact Julie Fox at julie.fox@hopecreates.org or 314-472-5747 for more details.

A major focus of the campaign is to build awareness and expand our reach by acquiring new donors — last year's campaign brought us 64 new donors in 24 hours! Our Matching Donors are the power behind the campaign by allowing day-of donations to be quadrupled — a donor gives $100 and it has the impact of $400! The day-of donors see their gift is now making 4X the impact, and the Matching Donors feel empowered, helping to grow the capacity of Hope Creates!

Think of the campaign as four total “buckets”. We fill three of them ($75,000) before the campaign goes live at 2 p.m. on April 22, and the remaining $25,000 is raised on the day of the campaign through lots of individual donors!

As a Matching Donor, you will be recognized on our campaign platform website with your name and logo scrolling throughout the 24 hours (along with our other Matching Donors).

You will be recognized throughout the day on our social media and newsletters.

Any gift above $500 will be featured on our campaign site. If you would like your company or family name listed, let us know and we will be in touch.
