Overview
Mission
Helping others promoting employment for individuals with autism and cognitive disabilities
What it reported doing in 2025
"hope" is an acronym for a mission: helping others & promoting employment. Our joy is to employ and empower young adults with autism and cognitive disabilities, a community facing an 85% unemployment rate. Many lose the majority of their critical support services at the age of 22 leaving them isolated and without opportunities. Our goal is to change that outcome by providing purpose, connection, and meaningful employment.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 80% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
