Support New Hope

As a community ministry among Frederick County’s underserved, Vital Sources, LLC has made an initial commitment to develop and maintain the New Hope Foundation for the Underserved (a non-profit organization). The NHF and revenue from the sliding scale fees for services provided by the New Hope staff will support services to the underserved in Frederick County.

To establish the highest quality reputation possible in Frederick County we have dedicated New Hope to:

	•	Hire and support the New Hope staff with a generous compensation package (benefits, salary commensurate with training and experience and on the high side of the scale when compared to other non-profit service organizations). We want New Hope staff and interns to be appropriately compensated and not distracted by poverty level incomes themselves.
	•	Cooperate with similar community agencies in Frederick County and not compete with them for funding sources.
	•	Seek our primary support from Christian businesses, local churches, and individuals.

	•	Hire first clinical staff person – completed May 2006
	•	Hire second New Hope clinical staff person – as funding is available
	•	Establish “New Hope Foundation for the Underserved” – in process
	•	Develop introductory materials – in process
	•	Establish partners as satellite locations for New Hope – in process
	•	Recruit supporters for an initial organizational community meeting – August 2006
	•	Formalize policies and procedures – September 2006
	•	Raise initial seed funds for 2006 (minimum $36,000) – September 2006
	•	Establish Advisory Board – October - November 2006
	•	Fund budget for 2007 (estimated minimum $150,000) – January 2006
	•	Develop New Hope as an independently staffed organization by January 2009

As Christian business men and professional psychologists, we have committed to support NHF with our own financial resources as well as professional and administrative service at no cost to New Hope.
