Single parents are some of the most resilient people we know, and we created a 501c3 tax-exempt organization to empower, encourage, and equip low-income single parents to obtain a college degree, develop essential life skills, and ultimately become self-sufficient through wrap-around services including financial assistance for housing and childcare, community resources, financial training, and counseling.
H.O.P.E., Inc. stands for Helping Other People be Empowered. Kenita Smith founded it in November 2009, out of her own experience. She was a single parent, and she struggled to finish her BBA and MBA. There was almost no help for parents in her position, and she wanted to change that.
Money is the number one reason students do not finish college, and government aid leaves a gap. It covers rent only if a parent is not working. It covers childcare only for parents earning a diploma or certificate who are living below the poverty line.
That leaves out the parents who are working and going to school to build a better life. Those are the parents we help. We put up to $400 a month toward rent and up to $400 a month toward childcare while you attend a two or four-year accredited college. The money goes straight to your landlord, lender, or licensed childcare provider.
We determine eligibility by conducting an intake and application process. Each individual must provide the following for consideration:

Behind every student parent working toward a degree is a journey that takes determination, sacrifice, and support. To our donors, thank you for believing in HOPE’s mission. Your generosity helps ease everyday challenges for student parents, giving them more room to focus on their education and their families. 🎓 Your support is part of what makes this work possible. We’re grateful to have you alongside us as we help student parents move closer to graduation and build brighter futures for their children. #supportnonprofits #atlantanonprofit #singleparents #supportsinglemoms #momsincollege #communityimpact

🎉 A $25,000 grant means more opportunities for student mothers to keep moving toward their degrees. We’re grateful to Gas South for investing in the Nana Grants and H.O.P.E. Inc. partnership. Together, we’re expanding access to childcare, housing assistance, financial coaching, mental health support, and other resources that help student mothers stay in school. This partnership reflects what’s possible when organizations come together to address the challenges families face while pursuing higher education. 💙 Thank you, Gas South, for helping us create stronger support systems for student mothers and their children! #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

You spend so much time showing up for everyone else. You deserve a community that shows up for you, too. 💙 At HOPE, we believe single parents deserve support as they work toward their educational goals and a brighter future for their families. Know a single parent who could use this kind of support? Share HOPE with them. 🫂 #HopeInc #SingleParents #SingleMoms #HigherEducation #CommunitySupport

What would finishing your degree make possible for you? 🎓 For some moms, it could mean stepping into a new career. For others, it could mean creating more stability at home or showing their children what is possible. Every student parent has a different reason for going back to school. The goal may look different, but the decision to keep pursuing it matters. At H.O.P.E., we believe those goals deserve support. We help single parents pursue higher education while caring for their families. 💙 So finish the sentence with us: “If I earned my degree, I would ______.” Share your answer in the comments. We’d love to hear what you’re working toward. 🧡 #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

There are moments when knowing someone is in your corner means everything. 🤍 For a parent balancing school, work, and family, community can look like encouragement, a helping hand, or simply someone reminding you that you do not have to carry everything alone. H.O.P.E. was built on that belief. Student parents deserve people who see their effort, believe in their goals, and show up along the way. Help us keep building that kind of community. Donate through the link in our bio. ✨ 🫂 #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

HOPE is more than a program. It’s a family. 💙🫂 For student parents, support should not end when a degree is earned. Life keeps happening after graduation, and new challenges can come with it. That’s why HOPE continues to stand beside its participants beyond the milestone. The goal is to help families have the support they need through whatever comes next. This work is possible because of the people who choose to support the mission. Your generosity helps HOPE be there for student-parent families through every season. Support the mission through the link in our bio. 🙏🏾 #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

Small support can make a meaningful difference in a student parent's journey. 💙 For a parent balancing school, work, and the needs of their family, unexpected expenses can make an already full season even harder. A monthly gift gives HOPE the ability to show up when support is needed most. It can help a parent stay focused on school, keep moving toward graduation, and continue building a more stable future for their family. Your $20 can become part of that support system. Become a monthly donor and help HOPE keep showing up for student-parent families throughout the year. 🙏🏾 Visit hope.org/donate to get started. #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

A degree can become part of a family’s story long after graduation. 🤝🏾🤍 For student parents, reaching that milestone can open doors that once felt out of reach. It can also give their children a new picture of what their future can look like. That is why supporting student parents matters beyond the classroom. The impact can reach into a child’s confidence, a family’s opportunities, and the choices that come next. Althea’s story is one example of what becomes possible when a parent has the support to keep moving forward. Your support can help more student parents create milestones their families can be proud of. Donate through the link in our bio. 🙏🏾 #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

Behind every student parent is a family, a responsibility, and a future they are working toward. 💙 Going to college while raising children takes more than determination. It takes access to resources, a strong support system, and people willing to stand beside them when things get difficult. At H.O.P.E., we believe student parents deserve that support. Your generosity helps us continue showing up for parents who are working toward their degrees while caring for their families. ✨ Help us make that support possible. Donate through the link in our bio. 🙏🏾 #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

Not every milestone is reached alone. 🎓 Behind a graduation photo is a parent who kept showing up through work, family responsibilities, financial pressure, and everything in between. For student parents, the opportunity to finish a degree can open doors for the whole family. That is why support matters. H.O.P.E. helps make that journey more possible for single parents pursuing higher education. 💚 Help us continue creating opportunities for student-parent families. Make a donation through the link in our bio. 🙏🏾 #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

Every milestone has a story that most people never see. 💙 Behind every graduation photo are countless moments where giving up would have been understandable. The weight of providing for a family while pursuing an education is something no parent should have to carry alone. Lillian's journey is one example of what's possible when determination is met with the right support. Her success is not only changing her future. It's creating new opportunities for her children and the generations that follow. 🎓✨ There are more student parents working toward that same future right now. At H.O.P.E., we believe no parent should have to choose between caring for their family and completing their education. 🧡 If you're a single parent pursuing a college degree, we're here to help. Visit the link in our bio to learn more and see if you're eligible to apply. #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

Some support meets you in the moment. The best support helps you carry something forward. 🙌🏾 For student parents, the goal is never just getting through one difficult season. It’s creating access to support, guidance, and opportunities that can continue making a difference long after that season ends. That’s why this work matters. When you support HOPE, you help create more than immediate relief. You help make room for growth, confidence, and new possibilities for student parents and their families. Your generosity can help make that kind of lasting impact possible. Support HOPE through the link in our bio. 🙏🏾 #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

A gift to H.O.P.E. can reach much further than the moment it is given. 💙 For a student parent, support can mean having one less barrier standing between them and their degree. For their family, it can mean more stability, more opportunities, and a different future to work toward. That is the kind of impact we are building together. If you believe in creating more opportunities for single-parent families, consider becoming part of the support behind their journey. 🧡 Learn more about becoming a monthly partner through the link in our bio. #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

For three years, I've been fighting two battles. Most people only knew about one. 🩷 Today, I'm ready to share a part of my story that I've kept private for a long time. In 2020, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After undergoing a double mastectomy, I believed that chapter of my life was behind me. But in 2023, my cancer returned. This time, it was Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer. For the past three years, I've undergone chemotherapy every three weeks, all while continuing to lead H.O.P.E., advocate for single-parent families, celebrate our students, and work toward creating opportunities for the communities we serve. There have been difficult days. There have been moments of fear. And there have been times when the weight of it all felt incredibly heavy. But through it all, my purpose has remained. I'm sharing this because I know there are women who are putting off appointments, questioning symptoms, or accepting answers that don't feel right. I know because I was once a young Black woman whose concerns were initially dismissed. And I had to keep advocating for myself. If there's one thing I want you to take away from my story, it's this: NEVER stop advocating for your health. Ask questions. Seek answers. Make the appointment. Get the recommended screenings. And remember that taking care of yourself is just as important as taking care of everyone who depends on you. To my H.O.P.E. family, thank you for supporting this mission and giving me so many reasons to keep showing up. Cancer is part of my story, but it is not the entirety of who I am. I am still here. Still fighting. Still serving. And still holding on to HOPE. 💗 I've shared more about my journey in a personal article on LinkedIn. I invite you to read it, share it, and send it to a woman who needs this reminder today. With love and gratitude, Kenita Smith #BreastCancerAwareness #MetastaticBreastCancer #WomensHealth #HOPE

A degree can mean something different to every mom. For one, it may mean finally finishing something she started years ago. For another, it may mean opening a door that once felt out of reach. Sometimes the goal is bigger than a diploma. It is the life that becomes possible after it. That is why support matters. When you give to H.O.P.E., you help create opportunities for student parents who are working toward that next chapter for themselves and their families. 💙 Want to help make that possible? Support H.O.P.E. through the link in our bio. Every gift helps us continue this work. 🙌🏾 #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

Sometimes, the people who believe in you can make all the difference. 💙 For Trinity, HOPE was more than a program and its resources. It was having people who believed in her and gave her the motivation to keep going. Having someone believe in her meant more than she could ask for. Student parents deserve to have that kind of support while working toward their goals and caring for their families. Your support helps HOPE continue being there for parents who are working hard to finish what they started. Help us make that support possible for more student-parent families.

Being a student parent means there is always another responsibility waiting for you. 🎓 There are classes to attend, work to show up for, children to care for, and everyday decisions that still need to be made.

We connect student parents with support that can help them stay focused on their education while building a stronger future for their families. 💙 If you know a mom who is balancing school and family, tag her below and remind her that support is available. 🧡 #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

Support can look different in every season. 💙 Sometimes it means having resources when things get difficult. Sometimes it means having people who remember your family and continue showing up when you need them. That kind of support can give a parent more room to focus on school, work, and raising their children. For HOPE, the goal is to build relationships that extend beyond one moment of need. It’s about helping student-parent families feel supported throughout their journey. The people who make this possible are a big part of that impact.

From a HOPE graduate to a 2026 WIT Graduate Success Awards finalist.

A degree can change the future of a family, but unexpected challenges can make staying in school harder than it should be. For a student parent, one financial setback can quickly affect everything.

Sometimes, staying in school comes down to having enough support when life throws an unexpected expense your way. For a student parent, one financial setback can mean choosing between a basic need and staying enrolled. Your support can help make sure that choice does not have to end in a paused education.

A parent’s journey through school can leave a lasting impact at home. Children notice the late nights. They notice the sacrifices. They notice their parent choosing to keep going. For a student parent, earning a degree can mean more than reaching a personal goal. It can show their children what perseverance looks like and what can happen when you keep believing in what’s possible. What did you learn from watching someone you love keep going? 🤗 🤍 Your support can help more student parents stay enrolled, overcome barriers, and reach graduation.

Taking the first step can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to figure everything out on your own. Many student parents never explore the support available to them simply because they assume they won't qualify or believe they should handle it alone. At H.O.P.E., every application is an opportunity to connect with resources designed to help student parents stay focused on their educational goals while caring for their families. Ready to see what's possible? Learn more through the link in our bio. 🙌🏾 ✨ #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

Some dreams don't end because of a lack of ability. They end because life becomes too expensive, too overwhelming, or too complicated to manage alone. That's why H.O.P.E. exists. 🤝🏾 We believe student parents shouldn't have to choose between caring for their families and investing in their future. When barriers are removed, determination has room to do what it has always been capable of. Every graduate reminds us why this work matters. Every family reminds us why we keep going. Celebrate this milestone with us in the comments. 🥂 💚 Learn more about our mission through the link in our bio. #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

Give 8/28 is here! 🤍 Today is a big day for H.O.P.E. Inc. and for the families we serve. Your support helps create real opportunities for single parents working toward their education while raising their families. When our community gives together, the impact reaches far beyond one donation. It helps build stability, open doors, and create stronger possibilities for the next generation. Every gift matters. Every share helps. Every show of support moves the mission forward. 💙 🎁 Give today through the link in our bio. #Give828 #HOPEInc #BlackGiving #BlackPhilanthropy #AtlantaNonprofit

Your gifts help single parents like Lois finally get the help they deserve! ✨ Give 8/28 is officially LIVE, and now through August 28, your gift can directly support single parents working toward a better future for themselves and their families. While earning her bachelor’s degree, Lois was turned down for more than 50 scholarships and assistance programs. Why? Because she was working while going to school. She made “too much” to qualify for help, but not enough to cover tuition, everyday expenses, and the cost of raising her family. She was doing everything she was supposed to do and still found herself in the gap. That’s exactly why H.O.P.E. exists. 💛 We help bridge that gap for single parents who are working, going to school, raising their children, and doing everything they can to build a more secure future. From August 26–28, your Give 8/28 gift helps us continue saying YES to single parents who have heard “no” far too many times. Every gift matters. Every dollar helps. Every parent deserves the opportunity to keep going. Give today and help us create more stories of H.O.P.E. ✨ #give828 #singleparents #collegestudents #singlemoms #atlantanonprofit

People see the graduation photos. 🎓 They don't always see the sacrifices behind them. Behind every class attended and every milestone celebrated are long nights, hard choices, and a parent doing everything possible to create a better future for their children. Many student parents are balancing school, work, parenting, and financial challenges all at once. No one should have to choose between paying rent, finding childcare, or finishing their education. 💙 H.O.P.E. exists to help remove those barriers so single parents can stay enrolled, graduate, and build brighter futures for their families. Graduation is possible with the right support. Visit hopebe.org to take the next step! #supportnonprofits #atlantanonprofit #singleparents #supportsinglemoms #momsincollege #communityimpact

There is a single mom right now doing everything she can to keep going. Working. Parenting. Paying bills. Chasing a degree. Building a better future for her family. And somehow, she’s still expected to figure it all out on her own. At H.O.P.E., we want her to know she doesn’t have to. 💙 We exist to help single parents pursue higher education without having to choose between providing for their children and investing in their future. Because sometimes, a little support is all someone needs to breathe again, believe again, and WIN again. ✨ And when a single parent wins, their children get to see what’s possible. If you know a single parent who needs to know H.O.P.E. exists, send this to them. You never know who needs to see it today. 💙 #HopeInc #SingleParents #SingleMoms #HigherEducation #CommunitySupport

A single gift can be the encouragement a student parent needs to keep moving forward. 💚 This Give 8/28, your support helps H.O.P.E. Inc. continue standing beside single parents as they work toward their education and a stronger future for their families. Early giving opens August 26. Mark your calendar for August 28 and get ready to make your gift count. 💙 Save this post. Share it with someone who believes in investing in families.

The dream isn’t just about getting by. It’s about creating a life where your children can experience stability, security, and opportunities that once felt out of reach. 🫂 Stories like this remind us why support matters. When a parent has the support to keep moving forward, the impact can reach an entire family. At H.O.P.E., we’re grateful to be part of those journeys and to everyone who helps make them possible. 💙 Help us continue creating opportunities for student parents and their families. Support H.O.P.E. through the link in our bio. 🙌🏾 #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

🎓 Graduation is often seen as the finish line, but for many families, it's really the beginning of something new. A degree can create opportunities that reach far beyond the classroom. It can change how a parent provides for their family, the example they set for their children, and the possibilities they believe are within reach. That's why supporting student parents matters. When one person graduates, the impact often extends to an entire household and can be felt for generations. 💬 What does graduation represent to you? Is it security, opportunity, confidence, freedom, or something else? We'd love to hear your answer in the comments. 🤍 #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

Not every breakthrough happens the first time. Sometimes circumstances change. Sometimes the timing is different. Sometimes the support you've been looking for finally becomes available. That's why it's worth trying again. Every application represents someone choosing to keep going despite the obstacles. Stories like Starmeka's remind us that one "not yet" doesn't have to become a "never." 💚 If you've been wondering whether it's time to take the next step, visit the link in our bio to learn more. 🙏🏾 #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

There are some moments when “thank you” simply doesn’t feel like enough. 🧡 The support H.O.P.E. receives reaches far beyond a single moment.

Your support makes this work possible. 💙 What does community support mean to you? Share your thoughts below. #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

Some of the biggest barriers to graduation aren't a lack of motivation. They're the unexpected expenses, childcare challenges, and daily responsibilities that can make finishing school feel impossible. That's why programs like H.O.P.E. exist. Not to do the work for student parents, but to make sure life doesn't force them to put their education on hold. Every application starts with believing your goals are worth pursuing. 💙 Tap the link in our bio to see if H.O.P.E. could be part of your journey. #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions

She refused to let her circumstances define her. ❤️ Christian's path to graduation was filled with challenges that could have forced her to give up. Instead, she kept choosing her future, one step at a time. With support from H.O.P.E., she found the stability to stay enrolled, keep moving forward, and continue working toward the life she envisioned for herself and her children. Today, she's still pursuing her nursing degree while creating a stronger future for her family. 💙 As Christian shared: "This program never made me feel alone or ashamed. They met me where I was." Her story is a reminder that the right support can make all the difference. ✨ If you're a single parent pursuing higher education in Georgia, H.O.P.E. may be able to help.

Single parents already carry enough. Making sure their children walk into a new school year prepared shouldn’t have to be another weight on their shoulders. 💙 Through H.O.P.E., we were able to provide back-to-school supplies to children in single-parent households—because of the generosity of people who believe in this mission. And this is about so much more than a backpack. 🎒 It’s a child walking into school feeling prepared. ✏️ It’s one less expense for a parent already stretching every dollar. 💙 It’s a family being reminded that they have a community standing beside them. Every donation to H.O.P.E. helps us continue showing up for single-parent families in practical, meaningful ways. To everyone who donated, shared, volunteered, or supported this effort: you helped make these smiles possible. Thank you for helping us send these kids back to school with what they need—and reminding their parents that they don’t have to do it all alone. 💙🎒✏️ #singlemom #backtoschool2026 #atlantanonprofit #supportsinglemoms #singleparent

You don't have to have it all figured out to ask for support. 💙 Every semester, student parents make difficult choices to keep moving forward. Paying rent or buying textbooks. Picking up another shift or making it to class. Finding childcare or missing another lecture. You shouldn't have to choose between providing for your family and earning your degree. If these signs sound familiar, H.O.P.E. may be able to help you stay enrolled, stay supported, and keep moving toward graduation. 🧡 Visit the link in our bio to learn more about our program and see if you qualify. #nonprofitsupport #singleparent #supportsinglemoms #singlemama #collegeadmissions
