Who We Are
The inspiration for Carly's Hope emerged from a transformative moment in our lives—the adoption of our beloved daughter. It was during this profound experience that we recognized the immense power of collaboration in overcoming challenges. Fueled by the belief that working together enhances our ability to surmount obstacles efficiently, we embarked on a mission to create positive change.
We passionately believe in the inherent right of every child to find a loving and supportive home, irrespective of financial circumstances. Carly's Hope stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to breaking down barriers, ensuring that the joy of adoption is attainable for every family.
Families come in all shapes and sizes.
At Carly's Hope, our work focuses on strengthening families through adoption service grants and building stronger communities to assist those in need. We support all loving households – of every race, ethnicity, gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, marital status, ability, socio-economic status, and religion – in providing a loving and stable home to children, youth, and young adults in need.
“There are no unwanted children, just unfound families.”

To sustain its mission, Carly's Hope has established a unique funding model through collaboration with a for-profit event center known as "The Sanctuary."
The Sanctuary serves as the financial backbone of the foundation by hosting events and activities that generate profits. These profits are then channeled into Carly's Hope to fund the grants provided to adoptive parents.
By leveraging a for-profit entity like The Sanctuary, Carly's Hope ensures a consistent and reliable source of funding to fulfill its mission. The foundation operates on the principle that successful, sustainable businesses can be a force for positive social impact, enabling the realization of its vision to support adoptive families in their journey toward creating loving and inclusive homes for children.
