As we close another year, we’re reflecting on the waves of change that you have helped create through your support of Hope Floats Foundation. Thanks to you, children in communities across the country have gained access to lifesaving swim lessons—opportunities that truly make a difference.

This year, through our local funds for local kids model, we’ve empowered hometown heroes - like the swim instructors, parents, and community champions in your own neighborhood - to step up for the next generation. But the need for access to swim lessons continues to grow, and together, we can do more.

Your support of Hope Floats doesn’t just fund scholarships. It fuels a movement. It allows us to build new partnerships, equip more communities, and create opportunities for kids and families who otherwise might not have access to critical water safety education and experience.

In the past year, Hope Floats Foundation made waves of progress:

We expanded into 39 states, growing closer to our vision of reaching every corner of the country and beyond with lifesaving swimming lessons.
Over 60 new community champions joined our Swim School Partner Network, strengthening our collective ability to serve families in need.
We awarded 1,406 scholarships and provided 16,872 swim lessons, giving children the opportunity to learn critical water safety skills and creating safer futures for families nationwide.

And we’re not stopping there. With your help, we can:

Expand our reach to even more communities that need us most
Strengthen local partnerships, empowering more hometown heroes to take action.
Amplify our mission, ensuring all children have the chance to learn lifesaving skills.

Will you join us again and help make a difference in even more lives? Your gift fuels our vision of safer, healthier futures for children everywhere.

Please consider making a tax-deductible gift today to ensure the ripple effects of your generosity reach farther than ever before. Together, we can keep Hope afloat.

Thank you for believing in the power of community, collaboration, and hope.
