Additional Info

Medical Home Plus (MHP) is a growing and thriving not for profit organization supporting families of children with special needs. MHP is the only entity that provides scholarship funds to assist these families in great need of educational support for their children in Virginia. Similar fee-for-service arrangements with professionals of this caliber can cost thousands of dollars out of pocket and are therefore unattainable for many middle-class families and beyond. By providing scholarship support, MHP is “leveling the playing field” for these children regardless of their family’s ability to pay or their child’s diagnosis and changing the trajectory of these children’s lives forevermore. The ability to provide such a critical and high-demand service resides with our ability to continually fundraise.
MHP has a current annual budget of $800,000 with a staff.
