Every Dollar Builds Hope

Every Dollar Builds Hope is the One Life Project’s year-round 2026 giving initiative, designed to transform everyday generosity into lasting impact for youth mental health. This campaign recognizes that while no single dollar can solve the crisis alone, every dollar plays a critical role in building the education, prevention, and support systems young people need to thrive.

Hope is not built in moments of crisis alone. It is built through preparation, education, connection, and care long before a young person reaches a breaking point. Every Dollar Builds Hope exists to fund that work consistently, sustainably, and at scale.

​

Purpose and Vision

The purpose of Every Dollar Builds Hope is to move beyond one-time emergency responses and invest in long-term, preventative mental health solutions for youth and young adults. This campaign fuels the programs, training, and outreach that help young people feel seen, supported, and equipped to navigate life’s challenges.

By inviting donors at every level to give what they can, this initiative builds a shared commitment to hope, resilience, and early intervention.

​

What Your Donation Supports

Every contribution directly supports The One Life Project’s core work, including:

• Mental health education programs for children, teens, and college students

• Prevention-focused workshops that build emotional awareness and coping skills

• Youth-led advocacy and awareness initiatives that reduce stigma

• Community outreach and school-based programming

• Resource development that connects young people to appropriate support

Larger gifts allow us to expand programs, train facilitators, and reach more schools and communities. Smaller gifts ensure our work remains accessible, inclusive, and community-powered.

​

Why It Matters

Youth mental health challenges do not begin overnight, and they cannot be addressed with short-term solutions alone. Sustainable impact requires steady investment, thoughtful programming, and a belief that prevention saves lives.

Every Dollar Builds Hope is about more than fundraising. It is about building a future where young people are supported before they reach crisis, where education replaces stigma, and where hope is something we actively create together.
