Overview

Mission

The primary purpose of Inspire Hope is to help children in the Greater Cleveland Area overcome barriers and achieve their dreams through providing academic, social and emotional learning opportunities.

What it reported doing in 2025

During our year ended December 31, 2025, Inspire Hope provided the "Calm Kids" social-emotional learning program designed to provide children with a safe and nurturing space where they can learn and practice essential social skills while providing them with the opportunity to identify, understand and express their emotions. Inspire Hope partners with local schools serving children in weekly sessions. An after school program is also available. During 2025, 170 children were served and 92% of those children served displayed positive coping and conflict resolution skills by the end of the program. Additionally 90% of the children were observed completing deep breathing activities each week.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 77% 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

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up and a large share of available resources goes toward mission work. Total assets are small relative to annual expenses; liquid coverage is unknown and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
