Our Vision

Imagine a world where our heroes – the brave military and first responders who put their lives on the line for us every day – can not only recover from career-ending injuries but thrive. Imagine spouses suddenly facing life without their veteran or first responder partners, empowered to pursue new careers and support their families. Imagine the children of fallen heroes with a path paved toward a brighter future.

We also provide opportunities for the public to learn about the evolutionary history of arts and sciences through our immersive educational fundraising experiences. 100% of the profits from these events go to fund our scholarship programs.

About Us

This world is the vision behind the Mountain of Hope Foundation, established by a passionate Arizona family who believes in the transformative power of education. The foundation is dedicated to supporting our state's most cherished heroes – veterans, first responders, and their families when they are forced to navigate the challenges that come with a career-ending injury sustained in the line of duty or the loss of a spouse in the line of duty.

Here's the Hope that your support gives:

• Supplemental Vocational Rehabilitation Scholarships: We provide financial assistance to supplement existing vocational rehab programs. These scholarships cover education expenses such as lab fees, books, internet service, or any other related expenses not paid for via other means to ensure the success of each hero in need.

• Spousal Scholarships: The spouses of fallen heroes are often the forgotten ones. We offer vocational rehab scholarships to these incredible individuals, empowering them to build a strong future for themselves and their families.

• Seed Funding for Children College Funds: The children of those who made the ultimate sacrifice deserve every opportunity to succeed. The Mountain of Hope Foundation provides seed funding for college funds, ensuring these young heroes can pursue their dreams in the future despite the loss of a parent.

These are more than just scholarship programs. They are about honoring the sacrifices of our heroes and empowering their families to reach new heights.
