Is the Home of Hope financially supported by the Chinese government?
The only support the Home of Hope receives from any entity in China is occasional assistance from the local government officials in areas of education for the children. i.e. helping get the children enrolled in the local schools when we bring them into the orphanage. No monetary or tangible assistance is received. All funding for the Home of Hope is by free will donations and offerings which go through the Next Towns Foundation, Inc., a nonprofit foundation founded for the sole purpose of providing those people who support the Home of Hope, legal protection for their contributions and a legal tax receipt for their use when they prepare their income taxes.
