New Hope of Indiana

What New Hope of Indiana does

New Hope of Indiana is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1978 and headquartered in Indianapolis, providing a comprehensive portfolio of disability services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families in Marion County, Indiana. The organization is the largest nonprofit residential services provider in the county, operating 48 community-based group homes that deliver 24/7 supported living, supplemented by day programming, behavior services, vocational services, autism programming (PLAY Project), family and community services, and the Camp Catalyst inclusive summer camp. In 2025, New Hope launched Hope House, the first out-of-home respite care and skills development program in Marion County, integrated with remote support technology from Cincinnati-based THS to enable independent living. A mobile vocational food truck program, Cheese and Thank You, provides job training and employment pathways.

The organization's revenue model blends managed-services reimbursement (primarily Indiana Medicaid waivers including the CIH Comprehensive Family Caregiver waiver) with contributed income from individual donations, corporate gifts, foundation grants, and event fundraising. Major institutional funders include United Way of Central Indiana ($1.5M matching grant for the Imagine More capital campaign), Lilly Endowment Inc. (Hope House development), and the Daughters of Charity Mission and Ministry Impact grant program (Movement Matters). The Imagine More campaign — a $4M campus transformation effort at the Payne Road headquarters — was publicly launched in April 2026 with $3.58M already committed. Service quality is anchored by CARF three-year accreditation (renewed May 2025) and an 8-consecutive-year IndyStar Top Workplace recognition. The organization employs between 251-500 staff, with 73% serving as Direct Support Professionals, and is governed as an independent nonprofit with no parent or subsidiary structure.
