Overview

Mission

Tamassee Hope Village is a private non-profit service organization offering multi-faceted educational programs to children and families in the community. We believe that education is the key to success. Our programs and services are built on this belief. We focus on all aspects of learning and growing to help children and students become confident in meeting educational challenges and in growing into responsible adults.

What it reported doing in 2025

At Tamassee, we believe in families, and our recovery program and education programs empower mothers and their children to find lasting freedom and wholeness. Tamassee's recovery program offers a faith-infused, family-centered, therapeutic community with holistic, evidence-based, trauma-informed services. Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Tamassee's campus provides a safe and loving home to families during the 18 to 24 month program. Tamassee supports each family's reintegration into the larger community so moms can maintain long-term recovery, secure housing and employment to support their family, and children can thrive in school and life.

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 available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Fundraising costs are high for each dollar raised and program spending has declined or grown slowly.
