Support The Hazelnut Movement
Give Monthly. Help Kids Belong.
A Nutty Buddy is a monthly supporter of The Hazelnut Movement — someone who believes every child deserves to be understood, included, and valued.
Your monthly support helps us bring The Hazelnut Movement into more schools, provide books and resources, offer scholarships, and equip kids with practical tools for friendship and inclusion.
Your support gives the gift of this message to one of our Nutty Buddies in a local school — reminding a child that they matter, they belong, and they can be a friend who makes a difference.
When you become a Nutty Buddy, you’re helping us reach one more child, one more classroom, and one more school with a message that can change the way kids see and include one another.
Your giving helps us:
-
Bring The Hazelnut Movement into more schools
-
Provide books and resources to classrooms
-
Offer scholarships to schools that need financial support
-
Create hands-on tools that teach kids how to include others
-
Reach more children with the message: Be a Friend

Our Impact as of 2026
26+ programs across five states, helping children better understand disability, inclusion, friendship, and belonging.
More than 2,000 books gifted to children, educators, and classrooms to help start meaningful conversations about differences and abilities.
Partnered with schools, churches, camps, and community organizations to give kids practical tools for including others.
Continued expanding our reach so more children hear the message that we are all created different—unique on purpose, for a purpose.
Our Mission
The Hazelnut Movement equips kids to understand differences, include others, and be a friend.
Through storytelling, interactive programs, and practical tools, we help children see that every person has unique challenges, strengths, and value.
Our hope is simple: that kids leave knowing we are all created different—unique on purpose, for a purpose.
Why We Do It
Most kids want to include others. They just need someone to show them how.
The Hazelnut Movement was created from our family’s lived experience with disability and the desire to make conversations about differences easier for children, families, and educators.
Through real stories, books, activities, and school programs, we give kids practical ways to understand disability, build empathy, and choose friendship.
Because inclusion doesn’t have to be complicated. Sometimes it starts with one child deciding to be a friend.
