Hope WINS was started in 2023. It is funded on hard earned fundraising dollars, generous donations, and grants. We work tirelessly to pour everything we have into this nonprofit.

Hope WINS receives CFNIL Grant!
We received a grant from the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois. This grant will pay for Hope WINS staff to be trained in Trust Based Relational Intervention as well as NTI Training. NTI enables staff to engage effectively with children, youth, and families who’ve experienced trauma, loss and grief. The remainder of the money will build the mentorship portion of the Hope WINS Program.
