Growing Together: Investing in Our Future, Building Our Community

2026–2027 Fundraising Goal: $40,000

Every neighborhood deserves to be a place where children can play safely, families feel connected, and communities have the opportunity to thrive.

H3 Coalition is transforming our communities and neighborhoods into places of hope, healing, and opportunity. Through community events, outreach, and meaningful engagement, we bring together families, youth, local organizations, businesses, volunteers, and community leaders to build stronger relationships and connect residents with valuable resources.

We create opportunities to come together, build trust, access resources, celebrate our communities, and take an active role in creating positive change.

Our Growing Together Campaign will help H3 Coalition sustain and expand this work throughout 2026–2027, ensuring that our neighborhoods continue to have access to meaningful programming, youth opportunities, community resources, and spaces where people can connect and heal.

Together, we can invest in our neighborhoods, empower our youth, and build stronger communities—one block at a time.

Our goal is to raise $40,000 during this fiscal year to ensure that Shine the Block continues to grow and serve more neighborhoods throughout Champaign County.

These funds will allow H3 to:

Expand Shine the Block into more neighborhoods.
Support the H3 Youth Ambassador Program, providing leadership development, workforce experience, and paid opportunities for young people to plan and lead community events.
Build stronger partnerships with schools, nonprofits, businesses, faith communities, and neighborhood organizations to increase resources and opportunities for residents.
Purchase supplies, equipment, food, and activities that keep every event free and accessible for families.
Recruit and train volunteers who help create safe, welcoming, and engaging community experiences.
Invest in outreach and relationship-building so every neighborhood has access to the support and opportunities H3 provides.

Every dollar invested in H3 helps strengthen the network of people and organizations working together to create safer, healthier, and more connected communities.
