Help Little Oaks Continue Serving Families

Families have told us they need trusted resources, meaningful connection, and a community that understands. Together, we've begun building exactly that.

Now, we're asking our community to help us take the next step.

Our Goal: $30,000 by September 1

Little Oaks is working to raise $30,000 by September 1 to continue operations and keep serving neurodivergent children and their caregivers while we build toward long-term sustainability.

This is a community-wide effort, with multiple fundraising efforts working toward the same goal — including larger gifts, direct outreach, and this crowdfunding campaign.

The crowdfunding campaign gives everyone a way to participate, whether through a $10 contribution, a larger gift, an introduction, or simply sharing the campaign with others.

If 300 members of our community each helped generate just $100, together that alone could reach $30,000. Every larger gift gets us there even faster.

Why We're Asking

Little Oaks was intentionally founder-funded through its earliest stage so we could listen, learn, and build alongside families before expanding our funding base. That initial runway is ending sooner than anticipated.

We're being transparent about where we are because our community deserves to understand both the opportunity and the urgency.

Reaching our $30,000 goal will help Little Oaks maintain the work already underway — including community programming, family engagement, resource development, and the relationships that are helping shape what comes next.

If sufficient funding is not secured, Little Oaks may need to reduce or pause operations while evaluating its path forward. Contributions will support Little Oaks' existing obligations and ongoing operations where feasible and, if necessary, an orderly wind-down.

Our goal, however, is to keep moving forward.

What Your Gift Helps Continue

Your contribution helps protect and extend the work we've already begun, including:

Community Living Rooms: creating welcoming opportunities for families to connect, share experiences, and build community.
Community Resource Hub: developing a centralized source of trusted resources to help families navigate the information and support available to them.
Parent and caregiver programming: creating opportunities for connection, peer support, and practical guidance.
Community partnerships and family engagement: continuing to listen to families and build relationships with practitioners, organizations, and community partners.

What We've Accomplished Together

This campaign isn't about starting from scratch. We've already begun building with our community.

Because of the support and participation we've received, we have:

Launched our first Community Living Room
Validated significant community need through direct community engagement and feedback
Begun developing the Community Resource Hub
Built relationships with families, practitioners, and community partners
Shaped programming directly from what families have told us they need

The next step is making sure we have the runway to continue that work.

Every Gift Matters

There is no single “right” way to participate.

$10, $25, $50, $100, $500, $1,000 or more - every contribution moves us closer to our goal.

A smaller gift helps build collective momentum. A larger gift can move the campaign forward significantly. Together, they make the $30,000 goal more achievable.

And if giving isn't possible right now, sharing the campaign or making an introduction can be just as meaningful.

Three Ways You Can Help

Make a Contribution

Give what you can. Every gift helps extend Little Oaks' runway and support the work already underway.

Make an Introduction

Know someone who cares about children, families, education, disability, or community?

Introduce them to Little Oaks. A conversation with someone who believes in this work can open a door that a donation alone cannot.

Share

Share this campaign with your family, friends, colleagues, and community.

The more people who understand what Little Oaks is building, the greater our opportunity to reach the families and supporters who want to be part of it.

Help Us Keep Building

The $30,000 goal is an immediate fundraising goal, not the end of the road.

While we work toward long-term sustainability, this campaign allows our community to help ensure that the work already underway can continue.

If 300 people each helped generate $100, that could get us to $30,000. If 100 people give $100 and one person gives $5,000, we're already much closer. If someone gives $10 and shares this campaign with ten people, that matters too.

There are many ways to get there.

What matters is that we get there together.

Transparency

Little Oaks is raising funds to support ongoing operations while we build toward long-term sustainability.

We're committed to communicating openly with our community throughout this campaign and will share updates on our progress as we go.
