Welcome to Hope Renews, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
established to help families with children in residential treatment
programs. Help is provided through our grant program as well as
through the information we disseminate in our newsletter and on our
website. Grants are awarded to eligible families who have
demonstrated their commitment to the therapeutic progress and who are facing financial challenges.
The foundation was created in 2004 by several
parents of children who attended a residential
treatment center near Salt Lake City. So many families have
benefited from the special care their children have received and
have wanted to give back. This foundation provides just such
a vehicle.
The principal goal of the Hope Renews is to raise
money for children currently in residential treatment. We
believe a lack of personal wealth should not be a barrier to
this life changing help. Through the newsletter and the
website, we offer a different kind of help: emotional
support and information tools that help families to face the
difficult moments as their child emerges into adulthood.
Many
parents have felt isolated as their children have gone through the
trauma that ends in a residential treatment program. There are
few networks for families to call on for reassurance. The need
to maintain privacy of families and students and our dispersion throughout the country has exacerbated the problem. We hope the
foundation can knit a community that can help us all.
Financial aid is the initial goal of the
foundation. We want to meet the current needs of as many families
as possible and also begin raising an endowment to carry the
benefits of our work into the future.

"The kindness of our early donors has been gratifying and their generosity has permitted
us to begin making financial awards to several
students."
