Accelerated Growth Plan

60 SINGLE PARENTS WAITING. YOU ARE THE SOLUTION!

Right now, 60 single parents are on our waiting list—ready for a chance to transform their futures. The H.O.P.E Accelerated Growth Plan is the solution, scaling our proven model to empower 100 single parents annually by 2030.

The Plan: Breaking Barriers, Building Futures

For 15 years, H.O.P.E Inc. has helped single parents navigate the impossible choices between rent, childcare, and education.

Our program provides:

Financial Assistance – Up to $800 per month for rent and childcare
Budget Coaching – Equipping parents with financial stability tools
Mental Health & Career Counseling – Removing barriers to success
Emergency Assistance –
Quarterly food and gas support
Life Skills & Workforce Training – Preparing parents for sustainable careers

Why This Matters Now

1.7 million single mothers are enrolled in college, but only 8 percent graduate within six years.
A child born into poverty in Atlanta has just a 4 percent chance of reaching the middle class.
Educated single parents earn $35,000 more annually, creating generational change.

Your investment has Immediate and Lasting Impact

$25,000 sponsors one single parent for a full year—covering rent, childcare, coaching, and emergency support.
If just 10 percent of Georgia’s low-income parents earned a degree, the state would gain $2.1 billion in tax revenue.
40 percent of children whose parents graduate from college will pursue degrees themselves.

Without immediate funding, these families will remain stuck in systemic poverty. We cannot afford to wait.

‘Giver of Hope’ Monthly Donor FAQ

Can we see the full H.O.P.E Accelerated Growth Plan?

Yes. You can review our detailed 2025-2030 Growth Plan to see how we will scale our impact from serving 25 participants annually to 100 by 2030.

Do you have the infrastructure to support this level of growth?

Yes. H.O.P.E Inc. has built a strong foundation to support this expansion. We currently have three full-time employees and ten contracted professionals, including program coordinators, financial coaches, grant writers, and communications specialists. Our planned infrastructure includes adding a full-time Development Director, Program Coordinators (one per 25 participants), a potential COO, and an HR Manager to ensure sustainable growth.

How much does it cost to support one single parent annually?

The cost to fully support one participant for one year is $25,000, which covers rent and childcare assistance, financial coaching, life skills training, mental health support, and emergency aid.

What is the long-term impact of investing in this program?

Education breaks cycles of generational poverty. Graduates of our program increase their annual income by an average of $35,000, gain financial stability, and 40 percent of their children go on to attend college themselves. This investment not only transforms individual families but also strengthens communities by increasing homeownership rates and contributing to economic growth.

What happens if the fundraising goal is not met?

While we are committed to scaling our impact, we will adjust our expansion timeline based on available funding. Our priority remains ensuring high-quality support for our participants. Even with partial funding, we will continue increasing capacity strategically.

How do you measure success?

Success is measured by graduation rates, income increases, homeownership rates, and generational impact. Currently, 50 percent of our graduates are the first in their families to attend and complete college, and we maintain a graduation rate of 80 percent.

To track long-term impact, we conduct a pre- and post-graduate survey for up to five years after our participants graduate. This allows us to measure changes in financial stability, career advancement, homeownership, and educational attainment for their children.

How can donors ensure accountability and transparency?

H.O.P.E Inc. is a Platinum-level charity on GuideStar and holds a 93 percent, 4-star rating on Charity Navigator. We follow strict fiduciary practices and have secured funding from major foundations and corporate donors. We also provide impact reports to major donors, showing how their investments are making a difference.
