Overview

Mission

The mission of the Hope Partnership Project (HPP) is to instill hope, inspire, and lead Ross County to save lives from drug overdose. We create recovery pathways through education, promotion, accountability, and advocacy for use of proven strategies and innovation among collaborative members. Risk reduction strategies are also utilized to reduce overdoses and disease from drug usage until recovery can happen.

What it reported doing in 2025

Conducted community outreach to better explain substance use disorder and to reduce stigma. Helped provide for basic human needs through the support of the Ross County Community Action Resource Center. Six risk reduction vending machines were made available to distribute risk reduction products throughout the county. Met with community partners to share information and to fill gaps in the community's recovery efforts. Promoted best practices with local recovery providers. Website made available and regularly updated to provide information and link clients to critical resources.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 99% 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. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown.
