S.A.D.E.'s Hope, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit domestic violence organization. Being "501(c)(3)" means that we have been approved by the Internal Revenue Service as a tax-exempt, charitable organization.

Many teenagers and young millennials often feel as if they are in this all by themselves, like no one hears them or even cares about what they think or feel. Our organization is here to let them know that we care, see them and we're here to listen and act.

DEI Statement

  • Diversity: We appreciate and leverage our differences, and we involve and reflect the communities we serve.

  • Equity: We align our policies, practices, and resources so that people of all races, cultures, and socioeconomic statuses have genuine opportunities to thrive.

  • Inclusion: We create an environment in which everyone feels valued and respected.

This commitment is critical to deepening our relevance, credibility, and effectiveness, and it will strengthen our mission to improve the lives of present and future generations. The civic and economic vitality of the state of Georgia, depends on inclusive and equitable opportunities for everyone.

In all we do, we seek to be conscious of and address the deeply entrenched practices, cultural norms, and decision-making structures that perpetuate inequities. Racial discrimination is a legacy of our nation’s painful history, and institutional racism and unconscious bias persist. Equity means receiving what one needs to succeed, as we are not all born with the same opportunities.

We approach our work on diversity, equity, and inclusion with courage and optimism—knowing it requires a sustained commitment. When we make mistakes along the way, we will adapt and continue to learn.
