Inheritance of Hope

Inheritance of Hope was established as a non-profit organization in May 2007 and gained approval as a 501(c)3 charity in December 2007.

Inheritance of Hope achieves its mission by providing superior books and literature, life-changing family retreats, and individual and group ongoing support – spiritually, emotionally and financially. The organization's products and services provide direct benefits for the children and a proactive, therapeutic focus for the parent. Furthermore, Inheritance of Hope believes that preparing for the death of a parent while they are living will yield significant long-term benefits for children and loved ones, thereby minimizing the potentially catastrophic impact. Inheritance of Hope is a faith-based organization – welcoming families of all faiths and backgrounds while serving under the core-beliefs of the Christian faith.
