Our Facility

HOPe operates out of an 11,000 square foot handicap-accessible facility on the campus of Stonehill College in Easton, MA. It is purposely non-institutional, but rather welcomes its members with all the warmth of a “home away from home”

Major Gifts & Planned Giving

Some families appreciate designating their gift for specific items or programs which have special meaning for them, such as helping to fund a new service, supporting the continued professional development of our staff, or ensuring the sustainability of HOPe into the future.

Gala & Auction

Each spring, HOPe holds an annual Gala & Auction to bring our community together in celebration and support of our mission and families. This special event provides for 30% of the charitable giving needed to run HOPe's programs on an annual basis.

Annual Campaign

Many of our programs are heavily subsidized by charitable contributions so that families can obtain support without a heavy financial burden. HOPe's Annual Campaign allows us to continue to provide high-quality programs for our children and adults by supporting day-to-day expenses while allowing us to keep program fees low.
