Project HOPE Foundation

Project HOPE Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1997 by two mothers seeking quality autism services for their sons. Today, it operates as the largest provider of Applied Behavior Analysis services in South Carolina, with ten clinical campuses and comprehensive programming grounded in evidence-based behavioral principles.

The organization delivers four core service areas: ABA therapy (branded as Hope Reach), educational programs accredited through SCISA, adult services, and community engagement initiatives. Services span from early childhood through adulthood and serve individuals across the full autism spectrum. Clinical options include center-based therapy, in-home services, and community-based supports, complemented by occupational therapy and speech-language pathology when needed.

Project HOPE Foundation earned accreditation from the Autism Commission on Quality for its ABA programs—the first organization in South Carolina to achieve full two-year certification. The organization has also received the Education Spirit Award and the Angel Award from the South Carolina Secretary of State, reflecting recognition for program quality and community impact.

Headquarters are located in Greenville and Woodruff, South Carolina. The organization employs approximately 115–144 staff members, including nationally certified behavior analysts and registered behavior technicians committed to serving children and adults with autism across multiple delivery models.
