Circle of Hope Donor Community

Give Hope.
Save Lives.

Change Futures.

For some women, men, and teens, the circumstances surrounding an unexpected pregnancy can become so overwhelming that abortion begins to feel like the only option.

Circle of Hope exists to address the fears, pressures, and real-world challenges that can make continuing a pregnancy feel impossible.

Through medical services, practical assistance, compassionate guidance, and strong community partnerships, we help people find the support and resources they need to choose life and move forward with greater stability, confidence, and hope.

Every gift has purpose.

Every donor becomes part of the Circle.

Our beginning

Our Story Began by Asking Different Questions

The founders of Circle of Hope care deeply about protecting unborn life and supporting the people facing these decisions. As they listened to the stories of women, men, and teens and looked closely at the research, they began asking a deeper question:

What if abortion didn’t feel like a real choice at all—but the only option left?

Give hope today

A timely gift can change what happens next.

Your generosity helps place compassionate care, practical resources, and steady support around someone when the circumstances feel impossible.

Stewardship & your gift

Your Trust Is Something We Never Take for Granted

Every gift to Circle of Hope represents someone’s generosity, sacrifice, and belief in this mission. We are deeply grateful for that trust—and committed to honoring it through careful, transparent, and responsible stewardship.

We intentionally maintain a warm, welcoming, and professional space without unnecessary expense or excessive overhead. We also choose not to invest significant donor resources in costly fundraising galas, expensive speakers, or elaborate events.

Partnership Makes Every Dollar Go Further

Good stewardship also means knowing when not to spend.

When excellent services or expertise already exist in our community, we build strong relationships and connect people to them rather than unnecessarily recreating what is already available.

Financials & transparency

Nothing Should Be Hidden Behind a Donate Button.

Supporting an organization should come with a clear understanding of how it operates, how resources are used, and what those resources actually accomplish.

That is why Circle of Hope makes important financial and organizational information readily available for anyone who wishes to review it.

Review our results. Examine our financials. Ask us questions.

We hope you’ll feel just as comfortable asking these questions of any organization you consider supporting.

We believe transparency strengthens trust—and organizations worthy of that trust should welcome thoughtful questions.

People & partners

Know the People Behind the
Mission

Meaningful work requires more than good intentions. It requires skilled people, responsible leadership, professional expertise, and meaningful accountability.

Circle of Hope brings together people from different professional and community backgrounds who share a commitment to serving others with excellence, compassion, integrity, and dedication.

The power of partnership

The Circle Is
Bigger Than Us.

The name Circle of Hope reflects something we believe deeply:

No single organization has to have every answer when an entire community is willing to help

Our partners bring medical expertise, counseling, education, employment opportunities, practical resources, mentoring, professional services, and many other strengths into the circle.

Together, we respond more comprehensively, use resources more wisely, and accomplish far more than any one organization could alone.

Donate

Your Gift Can Save a Life.

For some women, men, and teens, abortion can begin to feel inevitable when the circumstances surrounding a pregnancy seem impossible to overcome.

Your generosity helps make meaningful support available when it matters most.

A gift to Circle of Hope helps provide medical services, direct assistance, compassionate guidance, and continued support—while addressing the pressures and circumstances that can make abortion feel like the only option.

Sometimes, the right help at the right time can change a decision—and help protect a life.

01

Every Gift Matters

You do not have to make a large donation to make a meaningful difference.

Whether your gift provides an ultrasound, transportation, temporary housing, counseling, essential baby items, or another immediate need, every contribution becomes part of the support surrounding someone when it matters most.

Every gift has purpose. Every donor becomes part of the Circle.

02

Give Monthly. Be There When the Need Arises.

Monthly giving provides dependable support that allows Circle of Hope to respond quickly when someone reaches out for help.

Even a modest recurring gift, multiplied across a community of committed donors, can provide extraordinary stability throughout the year.

01

Turn Your Phone Bill Into Ongoing Support

Circle of Hope is proud to partner with Charity Mobile, where everyday cell phone service can become ongoing support for our mission.

When you choose Charity Mobile and designate Circle of Hope as your selected charity, 5% of your monthly plan price is contributed to Circle of Hope—month after month, at no additional cost to you.

It is a simple way to turn an expense you already have into meaningful, recurring support for women, babies, and families in our community.

Building the circle

Interested in Joining the Circle?

Circle of Hope is not built by one person, one organization, or one kind of generosity.

It is built by people who choose to show up—with a gift, a skill, a resource, a connection, a prayer, or a willingness to help.

There are many ways to become part of the Circle, and every partnership can look a little different. If you are wondering how your church, business, organization, skills, or professional expertise might contribute, the questions below are a great place to start.

Questions About Partnering With Us

01. What does being a community partner involve?

There is no one-size-fits-all partnership. Every organization, business, church, and professional brings something different to the Circle—and that is exactly the idea.

Some partners provide professional services, medical expertise, education, mentoring, employment opportunities, material support, or specialized knowledge. Others respond when an individual or family has a specific need, sponsor a program or event, volunteer their time, share resources, make introductions, or help connect people with services already available in our community.

A partnership does not have to be large or complicated to make a difference. Sometimes one connection, one area of expertise, or one willingness to help can provide exactly what is needed at the right moment.

We take time to learn about each partner and what they genuinely enjoy or are equipped to contribute. Together, we look for opportunities that are meaningful, sustainable, and genuinely helpful—while always keeping the people we serve at the center.

Because complex challenges rarely have simple solutions. The circumstances influencing a pregnancy decision often extend into many areas of life—housing, healthcare, finances, education, employment, relationships, childcare, transportation, and emotional well-being—and several may be unfolding at once.

No single organization can—or should have to—provide every answer. Our wraparound approach brings together the strengths of healthcare providers, churches, nonprofits, businesses, professionals, and community organizations, giving each person access to a much wider circle of expertise, services, connections, and opportunities.

By working together, we can address multiple concerns more comprehensively, connect people with the right help more efficiently, and continue responding as circumstances change.

Partnership also allows us to build on and expand what already exists rather than unnecessarily recreate it. This helps us avoid duplication, make better use of community resources, and preserve donor funds for areas where help might otherwise be unavailable.

The goal is not for Circle of Hope to do everything. It is to bring the right people, resources, and opportunities together so that no one person—and no one organization—has to carry everything alone.

We would be delighted to learn more about you or your organization and explore where our missions, strengths, and resources may naturally connect.

Please reach out directly to Liesa Borrillo, MA, MS, Director of Strategy & Operations, at 352.355.6765 or liesa@circleofhopefl.com. She will gladly answer your questions and learn more about how you would like to be involved.

Whether you already have an idea in mind or simply want to start a conversation, we would truly love to hear from you and explore what we might be able to accomplish together.

Financial support is just one way to be part of the Circle. Some of our most meaningful partnerships are built through time, expertise, services, connections, donated goods, prayer, or simply a willingness to help when a particular situation arises.

Partners may offer professional guidance, volunteer support, employment opportunities, introductions, specialized services, or other strengths they are glad to share.

Financial gifts are always deeply appreciated, but they are never a requirement for becoming part of the Circle. What matters most is a shared desire to bring what we each have and use it to help others well.

Not at all. We want partnership to feel meaningful, flexible, and easy to step into.

Some partners are involved with us regularly, while others help with a particular program, event, service, or situation. A connection may grow over time, stay focused on one specific area, or simply mean being someone we can reach out to when your experience or expertise could be especially helpful.

There is no expectation that every partner give the same amount of time, support, or involvement. We are genuinely grateful for whatever each person or organization feels able and comfortable contributing.

Yes—and we would truly love to hear from you. Some of the most meaningful connections in our Circle begin with one person who simply feels called to help.

Physicians, counselors, attorneys, educators, employers, business owners, mentors, tradespeople, and professionals from many different fields can offer knowledge, experience, connections, encouragement, or opportunities that may be incredibly valuable to someone who turns to Circle of Hope.

You do not need to represent an organization or have a formal program to become involved. If you have a skill, service, connection, or area of expertise you would like to share, we would be genuinely grateful to explore how it might help.

We would love that. Some of the strongest partnerships begin with simply sharing the gifts, services, and strengths an organization already has.

There is no need to reinvent what is working well or create something entirely new for Circle of Hope. We would much rather get to know your church or organization, learn what you already do especially well, and explore where those strengths might naturally connect with the people who turn to us.

That approach allows us to build on what is already working, expand access to excellent services, and avoid unnecessary duplication. Each partner brings something valuable to the Circle, and together we are able to offer far more than any one organization could provide alone.

You bring what you do best. Together, we find where it can help most.

We believe our partners deserve more than a thank-you. They deserve to understand what their involvement is helping accomplish.

Circle of Hope carefully tracks who we serve, the services provided, program participation, and documented outcomes so that our partners can see the tangible impact behind the work. When appropriate, we also share stories and updates that bring those numbers to life while carefully protecting the privacy of the people we serve.

We want our partners to remain connected to the work, informed about its impact, and confident that what they contribute is being put to meaningful use. If you ever want to know how a program is progressing, how a resource is being used, or what your partnership has helped make possible, please ask.

Your contribution should never disappear into the organization. We want you to see the difference you are helping make.

The next chapter

Building Today for What Tomorrow Will Require

Circle of Hope has grown quickly, and with that growth comes an important responsibility: to make sure what we have built is strong enough to be here for the people who will need us tomorrow—not only those we can serve today.

 

Priority 01

Building Lasting Financial Stability

Financial stability is not about accumulating money for its own sake. It is about creating a strong, dependable foundation that allows Circle of Hope to plan responsibly, remain responsive, and continue providing services at no cost to the people who turn to us.

A sustainable base of recurring and long-term support will give us greater ability to weather unexpected expenses, respond when urgent situations arise, invest thoughtfully in programs that are producing results, and make decisions based on what will create the greatest impact—not simply what current funding allows us to do.

Our goal is straightforward: to build an organization that donors can trust to remain financially disciplined, operationally strong, and ready to serve for years to come.

Priority 02

Creating a Child Enrichment Center

One of the clearest gaps we continue to see is also one of the most practical: parents cannot fully participate in opportunities if they have nowhere safe and dependable for their children to be while they do so.

Our vision is to create a Child Enrichment Center where children are not simply watched, but genuinely engaged in a warm and enriching environment—with opportunities to read, learn, play, create, build relationships, and be encouraged.

At the same time, their parents would have greater freedom to participate in counseling, classes, education and employment programs, parenting support, Bible studies, book clubs, and other opportunities designed to help them move forward.

Childcare should not be the reason someone has to turn down an opportunity that could strengthen her future or her family.

The Child Enrichment Center is our vision for helping close that gap.
