Hope for Children Now Giving Gatherings are your opportunity to discover the power of your gifts! How your generosity helps struggling children learn reading and math and rise to their God-given potential!

Giving Gatherings are a series of three small, intimate events hosted in the homes of Children Rising supporters throughout Oakland and the East Bay. Meet and fellowship with caring members of the Children Rising family. Please join us for a two-hour gathering with delicious food, engaging conversation, and inspiring stories about our kids.

Meet the children’s “Circle of Care”

You will hear stories of children and families in Children Rising programs. Be inspired by their circle of care—the loving parents and caregivers, caring tutors, and passionate educators—who are working every day to help children rise above the everyday challenges they face in school.

Indulge in fine food and drink.

Enjoy a delectable spread of small bites and refreshments as you fellowship with your fellow Children Rising family.

An Invitation to Give

Discover the power of your gift! Your generosity will help provide a child with a one-on-one tutor, in-home learning tools, and family support so they can learn reading and math. You will give them a fairer chance to succeed in school … and in life.
