Overview

Mission

HOPE Mental Health Foundation seeks to remove barriers to therapy so individuals can progress emotionally and break cycles of destruction for themselves, their families and their communities. We connect donors with individuals that need therapy through sponsorships to carefully vetted state-licensed counselors.

What it reported doing in 2025

Student Support In 2025 the Hope Foundation partnered with local schools that helped students and teachers receive healing and support through therapy. Expanded community awareness and donor engagement through fundraising events and partnerships, increasing the number of individuals served and reducing waitlist times for therapy support.
