Every 45 Seconds, Another Child. Another Family Left Searching.

At this moment, a family is finding out their child has a brain injury. Before you finish reading, another family will hear the same news. You can help make sure they don’t go through this alone. Making Connections is the only national conference for families raising a child with a brain injury. In just two days, families meet experts, learn about therapies, and connect with other parents who understand what they are going through.

We Need Your Help - Now Through September 15th.

A travel scholarship pays for the flight, which is often the only thing standing between a family and the experts and community ready to help them. If you give by September 15, your gift makes sure they can be there — even if they couldn't afford the trip on their own.

Every Gift Helps Light the Way

Whether you give $25 or $2,500, your donation can help buy a plane ticket for a family in need. Donate today and help us send more families than ever to our 10th year of Making Connections.

Wear Your Support

When you give $25 or more, we’ll send you a Hope for Minds bracelet.

This small gift is a reminder that your generosity helps a family find their way. Wear it, share it, and tag us.

Please note: Before completing your donation, Givebutter adds an optional “tip” to help keep their platform free for nonprofits. You can adjust this amount — even down to $0 — using the arrows at checkout. The tip option appears just below your donation amount, next to the heart icon, before you select your payment method.
