Seeds of Hope: Safe Housing Fund

What if… survivors didn’t have to flee the county to get to safety?

Right now, there are no dedicated emergency shelters in our county. When crisis strikes, survivors are forced to make an impossible choice: stay in danger, or flee their community just to find safety.

Fleeing means uprooting lives—leaving their churches and jobs and pulling already traumatized children out of their local schools, away from their friends and support systems.

We want to keep them here. When kids stay in their classrooms and survivors keep their local jobs and businesses, they gain the stability needed to achieve financial independence and grow—right where they’re already planted.

To build solutions that last, we are launching the Seeds of Hope Safe Housing Fund in partnership with the Arkansas Community Foundation. This permanent endowment fund securely invests your gifts to provide a predictable, ongoing source of funding specifically dedicated to expanding local safe housing.

Contrary to what you might think, you don’t need a fortune to leave a legacy. Whether you want to make an impact today or plan a gift for the future, you can put your values into action to protect your neighbors.

Our Immediate Goal: Help Us Raise $10,000 to Activate the Fund

We need you to reach our initial $10,000 threshold to officially seed the endowment. Once activated, the fund will grow toward our long-term housing milestones:

  • $20,000: Secure dedicated, monthly local crisis hotel rooms.
  • $50,000: Fund the Honey Bee Cottage safe house property.
  • $100,000: Launch the permanent Grace Gardens emergency shelter.

Creative Ways to Leave a Legacy Today

  • Immediate Leadership: Give $1,000+ today to jumpstart the fund, and invite 3 friends to join you.
  • Automated Giving: Set up recurring, automated disbursements from a bank account, stock portfolio, or family trust.
  • Tax-Wise Allocations: Give a tax-wise gift from a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF), IRA rollover, real estate, or life insurance.
  • Estate & Tributes: Name The Purple Flower in a memorial fund or as a beneficiary in your will or estate planning.

Reach out directly to our Executive Director to discuss customized legacy options, stock transfers, or trust allocations. Or give us a call (at 479-981-1676) during business hours (M-F 10am-3pm) to schedule a time to chat through any questions you have.
