Overview

Mission

Hope Hollow s mission is to offer welcome, hospitality and hope by providing lodging, meals, transportation assistance and emotional support at no cost to cancer patients and their loved ones, who are financially in need, while receiving cancer treatment in Columbus, Ohio for period of treatment.

What it reported doing in 2024

Also Hope Hollow offers a program service providing meals/food for cancer patients financially in need. We have been deeply moved by the stories of cancer patients and their loved ones that we serve. One patient was receiving chemotherapy in the morning, radiation in the afternoon, and was eating every third day because of the financial inability to purchase food. This person shared with us that between eating every third day, they would drink a lot of water to feel full and not be hungry. In another instance, the husband of a cancer patient with metastatic breast cancer was not able to work because he wanted to be with his wife who was in intensive care in the final days of her life. As a result of his lost wages, he was only eating every several days. In closing, our journey with our non-profit Hope Hollow has been humbling for us. As we are invited to share in the journey of those we serve, we in turn have become deeply aware of a need that too often goes unseen. Our hope is that the mission of Hope Hollow is making a difference for those in need.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
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 total spending goes to programs and the filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered.
