Questions? Good. Ask away.
Here's what people ask us most. Don't see yours? Email us at info@forthehayters.org.
GIVING
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes. For the Hayters Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 42-2921856). Gifts made since June 2, 2026 are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, and you'll get a receipt by email.
Where does my money go?
Into the Hayter Fund and the work behind it: grants for people in their hardest seasons, funding for organizations already doing great work in our pillars, and the community and resources that help people find their way through. If you give to a specific pillar, your gift stays with that pillar.
Can I give monthly?
Yes, and it's one of the best ways to help. You can change or cancel a monthly gift anytime by emailing info@forthehayters.org.
Can I give in honor or in memory of someone?
Absolutely. Just choose that option at checkout.
Can my employer match my gift?
Lots of companies will. Search for For the Hayters Foundation in Benevity or your company's giving site. Not listed? Our Employer Matching page has an email you can send straight to HR.
What's the Founding Wall?
Give any amount by December 31, check "Add my name to the Founding Wall" at checkout, and your name goes up on our site in January. It stays there for good.
GETTING SUPPORT
When will grants open?
Not yet, but soon. Join our newsletter and you'll be the first to know when applications open.
Who will be able to apply?
People facing real costs tied to grief and loss, family building, or mental health and invisible illness. We'll share the full details when applications open.
Will grants be paid to me directly?
Whenever possible, we pay the provider directly, like the funeral home, the clinic, or the counselor. Funding is limited, so we won't be able to approve every application.
I'm in crisis. Can you help?
Please call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911 right now. We're a small team and can't respond to emergencies, but we want you here.
STORIES AND THE PODCAST
How do I share my story or be a guest on the podcast?
Fill out our Share Your Story form. You don't need to have it all figured out, and sharing doesn't commit you to anything. We read every single one. You must be 18 or older.
Will you share my story without asking?
Never. Stories are read only by our team, and we won't publish anything that identifies you without your permission.
Is the podcast part of the Foundation?
Yes. For the Hayters is a program of the Foundation. The show surfaces the stories, and the Foundation turns them into action.
How do I advertise on the podcast?
Podcast advertising is handled by our network partner, PodcastOne, and isn't part of Foundation sponsorship. Email us and we're happy to make an introduction.
GETTING INVOLVED
How can I volunteer?
Fill out our volunteer form and tell us what you're good at. Event help, design, writing, social media, outreach: there's room for you.
How do I join the board or the advisory board?
Start with the volunteer form and tell us you're interested. We'll reach out to talk about where you'd fit best.
How do I get my organization listed in the Resource Hub?
Submit it through our Submit a Resource form. Every listing is reviewed by our team, and submitting doesn't guarantee a spot.
My company wants to partner with you. Where do we start?
Head to our Partner With Us page to see partnership levels, or email info@forthehayters.org and let's talk.
We'd love to hear from you.
