Your Donation Can Change People's Lives

The HOPE Organization is a non-profit group dedicated to assisting survivors of abuse within polygamous relationships on their courageous journey to personal freedom.

Your tax-deductible donations to The HOPE Organization will help us offer support, protection, assistance, choices, opportunities and hope for the women, children, families and young adults (both boys and girls) who have been forced out or who have chosen to leave this lifestyle. HOPE's staff is comprised of dedicated volunteers whose goal is to help anyone desiring to leave the environment of polygamy including underage brides, women wanting to leave, and the "lost boys" - young men who are often cast away like unwanted pets. HOPE's office rent and overhead expenses are paid by a private foundation and there are no salaried (paid) persons in our organization. We use the donations sent to us by the general public to spend on assisting victims of polygamy to help them successfully transition into mainstream society. Your tax-deductible donation would be greatly appreciated; your generosity will help change people's lives!
