Mission & Focus Areas
The organization’s stated mission is to bring volunteers to disaster-affected locations to help homeowners rebuild and repair damaged homes, and to build or renovate safe houses for people rescued from human trafficking. Its filing says it provides volunteers with food, lodging, logistics, materials, and equipment, and that it carries out safe-house projects in partnership with ministries already serving survivors.
Its website says the Safe House Ministry works with Christian, faith-based nonprofits serving trafficking survivors. The partner application requires applicants to serve survivors, have funding available for building materials, and own a secure facility or property. The organization describes its rapid-response work as beginning 48–72 hours after a disaster and including debris clearing, roof tarping, home gutting, and salvaging personal property. Its website also describes a Mass Feeding Ministry; the 2025 filing reports that it provided roughly 12,000 meals that year.
Among 2025 grantees, Expanding Borders describes its mission as providing for the needs of orphans and the fatherless domestically and internationally. Friends of Pioneer says it provides a location for groups to host events and retreats, with a focus on religious growth and support. S. Mark Taper Foundation describes itself as a private family foundation that funds nonprofit organizations in Southern California.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, Eight Days of Hope reported 15 grants totaling $413,500. Grant amounts ranged from $6,000 to $100,000, with a median of $15,000. Its largest listed grants were $100,000 to Safe Harbor in Canto, Ohio; $55,000 to The Abiding Church in La Crescenta, California; $50,000 each to Expanding Borders in Bassfield, Mississippi, and Parkgate Pregnancy Clinic in Tupelo, Mississippi; and $30,000 to Landmark Church in Diamond Bar, California. The stated purposes for these grants were “various charitable,” except for a $15,000 grant to Responders on a Mission for “missionary support.”
The organization also offers Safe House partnership opportunities, which provide volunteer labor and equipment for facility construction or renovation rather than a stated cash grant. Its new-partner application calls for organizational, program, leadership, building, and financial information, including a recent Form 990 and proof of 501(c)(3) status. Applicants must meet the faith-based, survivor-service, building-material-funding, and facility-ownership requirements. Returning-partner applications are for existing Safe House partners seeking additional facility assistance.
The organization lists a $1,000 scholarship for higher education, paid directly to the institution. This is a student scholarship, not a grant program for outside organizations. Its application deadline was April 1, 2026, a past cycle.
