Volunteering with Foundation for Joy is about more than giving your time. It is an opportunity to share your unique talents in service of children and communities. Together, we help create places where children feel safe, supported, and free to thrive.
Every hour you offer and every skill you share makes a real difference for the kids, and inspires greater connection, compassion, and possibility for us all.
Fundraise
Host a gathering
Bring your community together in support of the kids. Host a dinner, a house gathering, or a celebration that shares the Foundation for Joy mission and invites your guests to give. Fill out our host interest form and we’ll follow up with resources to help you share the story.
Kids Helping Kids
Children everywhere have the power to make a difference. Through Kids Helping Kids, young people around the world create their own projects and fundraisers to support children living in Nepal’s children’s homes, from birthday campaigns and school activities to art sales and community events.
Every effort, big or small, helps provide meals, schooling, and a safe, loving home, while teaching young people that generosity can begin at any age. Together, kids are turning creativity and compassion into a global ripple of joy.
Have a young changemaker in your life? Start a Kids Helping Kids project and we’ll help you get going.

The Fellowship
One-year commitment, January to December 2027
Members of The Fellowship join the Joy Team for Mission Possible, a one-year game to move the homes from dependency toward sustainable thriving. Play on the Funding Team, the Creative Team, or both. Visiting the homes in Nepal isn't required to join.
Family of Joy ($10K Club)
$10,000 or more
For individuals and families who give, or inspire others to give, $10,000 or more. You don't have to make the full gift yourself; bringing your community together to reach it counts too.
