The Holding Hope Scholarships

At the Holding Hope Foundation, we believe that support comes in many forms: sometimes it’s funding for life-changing education, sometimes it’s a gesture of kindness during a difficult week, and sometimes it’s making sure a child feels prepared and celebrated during special times of the year.

Our programs are designed to meet protective parents and their children where they are, offering resources that foster empowerment, resilience, and lasting recovery.

Together, these programs form a safety net of care, education, and kindness, wrapping protective parents and their children in the support they need to heal and thrive.


  • Scholarships may be used for:

    • Training and educational programs

    • Therapy or counseling services

    • Coaching or mentoring

    • Trauma-informed healing modalities such as reiki, somatic work, or mindfulness programs

    We believe that with the right resources, protective parents can rebuild their lives, strengthen their bond with their children, and create safe, loving environments where families can thrive.


    • Protective parents who have experienced or are experiencing domestic abuse

    • Applicants who demonstrate financial need

    • Individuals seeking to participate in programs aligned with our mission

Flower and Encouragement Program (Coming Soon!)

  • We know that even small acts of kindness can bring light in difficult times. Our Flower & Encouragement Program sends flowers or small gifts to protective parents during challenging moments, whether it’s a court date, the anniversary of a difficult event, or a milestone in their healing journey.

    These gestures are a reminder that protective parents and their children are seen, valued, and never alone.


  • Two Ways to Get Involved:

    • Donate to our Flower & Encouragement Fund to help us keep sending love when it’s needed most.

    • Nominate a protective parent (or yourself) to receive flowers or a gift.

  • Coming Soon!

Back-to-School & Holiday Gift Drives (Coming Soon!)

  • For families impacted by domestic abuse, back-to-school season and the holidays can bring added financial and emotional strain. Our Gift Drives ensure that children start the school year prepared and celebrate the holidays with joy and dignity.

    We Provide:

    • Back-to-School Supplies & Essentials – backpacks, notebooks, lunch boxes, art supplies

    • Holiday Gifts – toys, books, warm clothing, and special items chosen with care

    For protective parents, these drives are more than just gifts, they are proof that their community stands beside them.
