Creating Ripples of Hope is what we do on a daily basis at the Alive in Hope Foundation.
In 1996 the first gift was made to the Alive in Hope Campaign; a historic event in the life of the Diocese of Brooklyn. That first expression of generosity begot another, and another, leading to the creation of the Alive in Hope Foundation.
Eleven years later, $28 million has been distributed in support of the Catholic community in Brooklyn and Queens.
Everyday, donors to the Alive in Hope Foundation create ripples of hope. Helping people they may never meet. Making dreams possible for families they do not know. One act of love calls forth another, creating ripples of hope for generations to come.
