About Us

Project Hope Foundation is South Carolina’s largest nonprofit autism service provider and one of the few serving the full lifespan, from toddlers to adults, across all levels of the autism spectrum. Founded in 1997 by two mothers seeking help for their own sons (who still serve as co-CEOs), Project Hope now operates nine campuses across the state, offering a full range of therapy, education, and adult programs.

Our Work

We began serving Greenwood County in 2016 and now operate from leased space. In that time, we’ve formed powerful partnerships with the Greenwood Genetic Center through our Helix & Hope initiative, uniting science and services, and with Greenwood School District 50, supporting children both in and out of the classroom. We have provided hundreds of thousands of service hours to local children, helping them gain life changing skills and equipping their parents with strategies that transform family life.

Our Vision

In June 2024, we purchased 12 acres on the Greenwood Genetic Center Partnership Campus. Here, families will be able to receive a diagnosis at the Genetic Center and then walk down the street to see the hope and progress possible through our therapy. This unique proximity could become a national model for seamless, cohesive autism care.

The Urgent Need

With autism now affecting 1 in every 31 children, Greenwood families cannot afford to wait. We’ve already secured $1.8 million toward building this new center. We need $2 million more to open the doors.

More About Our Greenwood Campus

In addition to providing ABA therapy to children in the GLEAMNS area, with onsite support and supervision from Board Certified Behavior Analysts, we also provide consultation services to Greenwood School District 50 and Laurens School District 56 to support students with autism. 

Project Hope Foundation received its start in Greenwood through assistance from the Greenwood County Community Foundation, Self Family Foundation, Self Regional Healthcare Community Outreach, SC Department of Disabilities and Special Needs, and community members. We are grateful for ongoing support from the Chandler family, as well as the Greenwood community and business groups such as Greenwood County Community Foundation, Greenwood Women Care, Lander University, Legacy Church, Sports Break, The Arts Center of Greenwood, and United Way of the Lakelands.
