The Lovey Project – 2025 Impact Report

The Lovey Project 2025:
Building Emotional Wellness Through Community, Creativity, and Courage

The Lovey Project had a transformative 2025, raising $101,556 to support mental wellness programming for children ages 3-13 through creative, tactile, and community-based initiatives. The organization distributed over 1,000 Loveys, books, and wellness resources to children locally, nationally, and internationally, while launching signature events like the inaugural Face Your Fears Ball that brought together 100+ community members on Halloween. Through partnerships with organizations like Mercy Home for Boys & Girls, DuPage PADS, and Hephzibah Home, and grassroots fundraisers like the Synaptyx Turkey Bowl and family-led donation drives, The Lovey Project expanded its volunteer and donor network by over 40% while funding key 2026 initiatives including a Lost & Found digital resource center, "Training Wheels for Your Brain" boot camps, and early-stage plans for a dedicated Lovey Building—all driven by the belief that when emotional support becomes as normal as snack time, children can navigate our technology-based world with confidence, resilience, and self-care.
