A Ray of Hope, Today!

A Ray of Hope, Today! creates area-wide cooperative focus groups to launch initiatives; convene task forces; and create, brand, and increase or improve existing or new programs, services, and resource provisions in North Marion County.

Our Mission & Core Values

We Believe

We believe that coming alongside the struggling, vulnerable, and underserved to empower them on a journey to self-advocate for relief, rehabilitation, and development will transform our community.

We Commit

We are committed to providing people a hand up and not merely a handout. Our mission is to ensure high-level collaboration among service providers and initiate programming for systemic change by coordinating, connecting, and creating cooperation among service and resource providers within our community.

We Provide

We provide other People, Partners, Programs, and Projects with complete and open access to our brand and network as well as provide fiscal sponsorship. We are also able to provide coaching, referrals, resources, and recommendations related to matters of fundraising, strategic planning, entity formation, organizational development, and operational infrastructure including finance, operations, administration, and marketing

Programs & Projects

Our programs and projects are designed to meet real needs in our community through collaboration, connection, and action. Each initiative reflects our commitment to providing a hand up and creating lasting impact.
