Campaign Leadership

The Hope Builders’ Society is an esteemed group of our most generous and dedicated supporters who wish to help us with our long-term stability. These individuals have assumed a leadership role in making the YAI Network a Place of Hope for people with disabilities and their families. They are ambassadors in helping to support and ensure the agency’s mission in perpetuity. In that spirit, they have committed themselves to making gifts of $100,000 or more to the Campaign for a Place of Hope, over and above their annual giving. Through this extraordinary support, The Hope Builders’ Society plays a key role in creating and endowing the finest, most cutting-edge, comprehensive programs available for people with disabilities. In addition, Hope Builders help to raise awareness of the agency’s mission and secure financial support from external sources such as the philanthropic community and their circle of friends, family and business relationships.

• Individualized recognition of a personal gift with special naming opportunities.
• Name inclused on all Campaign materials and other relevant agency literature.
