Ways to Get Involved

Supporting Hope Hall

Hope Hall School is a private, non-sectarian, 501(c)(3) not-for-profit school designed for students in grades 2-12 with special learning needs who consistently experience frustration in the traditional classroom setting. Our students come to us with ADD, ADHD, autism, Central Auditory Processing and anxiety disorders, or simply a low average IQ. Hope Hall is committed to the belief that, when given  enough time in a supportive, multi-sensory learning environment, all students can become successful learners. For more than 25 years we have proven this to be true; Hope  Hall has a 100% graduation rate and 100% of our students are prepared for careers, college or 18-21 programs.

Hope Hall receives no funding from school districts, very limited funding from state and federal government, and tuition covers less than one-quarter of the cost to educate a child. Financial support from individuals like you helps ensure that every child who needs Hope Hall can access the quality education programs that will help them thrive. Thank you for choosing to help our students succeed!

Your clothing donations will be reused in the U.S. and Third World countries.  Your donations are tax deductible and Hope Hall will earn $40.00 for every 1,000 pounds donated. Typically this raises over $1,000 a year for our students!
