HOPE for Youth Foundation, Inc.

Help Us Help
Children

Jim Witt’s HOPE for Youth Foundation’s (HFYF) mission is to improve the lives of children in the Hudson Valley by raising funds for local charitable organizations that help children who need physical, emotional, educational, or enrichment support.

Together We Can
Make a Difference!

How We Started

Founded in 1986, the HFYF, a 501(c)(3), was founded to better the lives of local youth in the Hudson Valley by funding worthy charities (with a focus on children), scholarships to local high school students and local programs that promote healthy academic, emotional or athletic programs.

How We've Grown

In the first year, HFYF generated about $1,000 from its long range weather calendar sales and gave it to one organization—Friends of Karen. Today, we help fund the program and services of more than 35 organizations every year and we distributed $175,000 last year. To date, we have distributed over $6 million to worthwhile charities.

Where We're Going

The HFYF plans to continue to distribute the funds we raise to as many charities focused on children as possible.
