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.

At the Holding Hope Foundation, we believe every protective parent deserves the tools, resources, and support needed to keep themselves and their children safe and thriving. Our Scholarship Program provides financial assistance for parents to access trauma-informed therapeutic programs which strengthens the bond between parent and child and offers vital education on domestic abuse.
Your donation directly funds these scholarships, ensuring that cost is never a barrier for a parent seeking safety, healing, and empowerment. Together, we can give families the opportunity to rebuild, recover, and create brighter futures.
Every gift makes a lasting impact. Thank you for joining us in our mission to bring hope, healing, and strength to families. Click HERE to donate.

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.
