Needs that Cannot beMet without Your Help

Since our state funding was cut, our organization relies heavily upon individual donations for general operating support. We are growing as an organization and are securing sustainable funding streams, both public and private. In the past year, we have expanded our grant writing, but are still looking to bridge the gap for operational expenses. Every donation provided gets HopeCAT one step further toward the goal of lifting people up and producing a developed workforce for our local community, stimulating the economy and making this a great place to live and to visit.
