about us
While the One By One Foundation focuses on three very different and unique areas, the common goal across all our areas of support is Healing.
The One By One Foundation was created by Josephine (Jo) and Randy Hopkins, and has been serving others since 2007.
Through all of their life experiences (difficult, challenging, and rewarding), Jo and Randy were led to start the Foundation to be of service to others.
The One By One Foundation raises money to provide financial support, education, and opportunities to those in need, so they too can experience the same Mind, Heart, and Spiritual healing benefits that have so deeply and beneficially impacted Jo and Randy’s lives.
The One By One Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity. Donations are tax deductible (Tax ID# 26-6178579). One hundred percent of all outside donations go towards the direct support of those in need (see Financial Info).
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
JOSEPHINE HOPKINS
Josephine Hopkins (Jo) was born in Cascade, Idaho in 1957. After graduating from Boise High School, she went on to work in the real estate finance industry. But Jo's always had a passion to work with children and animals. So, after her retirement from the finance industry, Jo returned to Boise State University to pursue a degree in Social Work. Jo's desire to help others led her to become a member and officer of two women’s groups which raised money for scholarships for women. She also volunteered with many children’s organizations, and was on the Board of Directors of the Children’s Home Society. Her passion to help others then led her to Ghana, West Africa, where she volunteered at an orphanage. It is this experience in Ghana that ignited the creation of the One By One Foundation. Jo enjoys spending time with family, gardening, traveling, and spending time in the great outdoors.
RANDY HOPKINS
Randy began Hopkins Financial Services, Inc. (HFS) as Hopkins & Associates in December 1983. As Founder and President of HFS, Randy is very active in real estate and joint venture projects.

Robert Henderson, a graduate of the University of Maryland and Seattle University Law School, was a member of the Washington State Bar for 25 years. He’s married and has a daughter. In 1985, he was initiated into Kriya Yoga by his spiritual teacher, Paramahamsa Hariharananda.
