Give Today
Give the gift of hope through the arts. Empower young artists in recovery from Substance Use Disorder. Hope Creates offers non-traditional, creative learning opportunities for youth and young adults recovering from addiction.
We believe that creation is the opposite of self-destruction and positive self-expression builds self-confidence and self-esteem. Youth and adults in recovery from SUD can thrive when they have the opportunity to nurture and challenge their creative abilities in a safe and nurturing community. We provide an avenue for self-expression, diverse creative outlets, a sense of community, fun, and safe risk-taking.
Our goal is to build self-confidence, competence, and a sense of self-worth while making sobriety “exhilarating fun.”
Ways to give
Youth Opportunity Program Tax Credits
YOP is a state-sponsored program that provides tax credits to donors who help nonprofit organizations that make a positive difference in the lives of youth and thus the economic welfare of the state of Missouri. The state gives tax credits to reward eligible donors who support programs for Missouri’s children—the future of our state and the economy—and to increase funding for these programs. This allows donors who increase their giving as well as new donors to support local projects with funds they would normally owe on taxes. It’s a win-win!
