About Eight Days of Hope
Eight Days of Hope Inc. gives across disaster relief, humanitarian response, and faith-based ministry support, with its largest recent grant going to Safe Harbor for various charitable work. The pattern is not limited to emergency aid: the foundation also backs organizations involved in survivor services, church-based outreach, missionary support, and ministry documentation. Recent grants show a mix of large and mid-sized awards, including support for The Refuge for Dmst in Austin and Branches Worldwide in Wooster. That mix points to a funder that uses project-specific grants to support both direct service and faith-oriented operational work. The foundation’s grantmaking also reaches beyond a single crisis or location. In the recent grants list, it supported Hurricane and wildfire recovery-related work, services for people affected by domestic violence and human trafficking, and international ministry-related efforts tied to Ukraine. Overall giving in the latest year on file totaled $914,998, with a focus on organizations doing on-the-ground service rather than individual aid.
