Supporting HP Community

“Giving is not just about making a donation.
It is about making a difference.”

Kathy Calvin (CEO of the United Nations)

When we give our time and resources to something greater than ourselves, we have the power to change the lives of others and ourselves. The more you can support us, the better our community can become.

Helping HP Community, a not for profit organization, thrive is a great way to stand up for the causes that matter and make a lasting difference. We are deeply committed to promoting and celebrating cultural and economic diversity within our student body.

Support from our philanthropic partners and individuals contributed to the $200,000 needed for scholarships aiding lower income families.

Our goal is all children thriving: a student body that is ⅓ full pay for tuition, ⅓ scholarship, and ⅓ state funded.

At HP Community, every dollar you donate makes a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families in our community. Here’s how your donation can make an impact.
