About the Foundation
More Than a Foundation. A Family Mission.
Rooted in faith, driven by sport, and committed to every community we touch.
Our Story
Where It All Begins
The Hidalgo family is seriously involved in sports, community, health, and education. The formation of Hannah's Helping Hands Foundation allows Hannah to pursue outreach and philanthropic endeavors for the community and abroad — using her talent in sports as a platform for lasting change.
The foundation intends to raise money and awareness around the various issues that center on a better quality of life for the residents of South Bend, IN, the Delaware Valley, and any given community we are called to serve.
Hannah reflects on her faith daily, knowing that her talent in sports is a gift — and that causes her to work harder to reach the unreachable goals instead of settling for ordinary accomplishments.
"Her talent in sports is a gift — and that causes her to work harder."

Meet Hannah
A Point Guard With a Bigger Game Plan
Hannah Hidalgo is a starting point guard for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish women's basketball team — one of the most competitive programs in the country. Her on-court excellence has earned her national recognition, but for Hannah, the court has always been a platform, not just a playing field.
Born into a family that lives at the intersection of sports, faith, and service, Hannah carries that legacy into everything she does. Hannah's Helping Hands Foundation is the natural extension of who she is: driven, warm, and bigger than basketball.
Our Five Pillars
The Foundation of Everything We Do
Sports
We use the power of athletics to teach discipline, teamwork, and resilience — values that carry young people far beyond the court or field.
Health
Physical and mental wellness are the foundation of a thriving life. We promote healthy habits, access to resources, and a culture of whole-person care.
Education
Knowledge is the great equalizer. We champion academic excellence, financial literacy, and lifelong learning for every young person we serve.
Community
We show up where it matters most — building bridges, creating opportunities, and strengthening the neighborhoods that raised us.
Faith
Faith is the anchor of our work. We honor the belief that every person is gifted, every community is worth fighting for, and every goal is reachable.
