About Nathaniel's Hope

Founded over 23 years ago, Nathaniel’s Hope is a faith-based nonprofit committed to serving children and adults with special needs—our cherished “VIPs”—and their families. Steady growth has marked our journey, with exciting expansion ahead.

Our dedicated team of 10 staff (soon expanding to 20+) collaborates with nearly 1,000 annual Orlando-area volunteers to create meaningful impact amid limited resources, as our reach expands rapidly.

We acquired 171 acres in East Orlando in February 2022 to launch Hopetown development, then added 210 acres in January 2025—for a total of approximately 381 acres.

Hopetown will be a transformative inclusive community where adults with disabilities can live, work, and play, complete with residences, job opportunities, and comprehensive family support.
