Lisa Lane and Susan Sachs are the Co-Founders and Co-Executive Directors of Project HOPE Foundation, a non-profit organization offering a lifespan of autism services. When they met in 1997, they were two moms desperately seeking autism services for their young sons. They couldn’t find what they needed, so they created it together. Over the last 23 years, Project HOPE Foundation has grown from a small, inclusive preschool to a full-fledged center for autism services, with eight campuses across four counties in South Carolina. Project HOPE Foundation is broad in scope, providing a lifespan of services (from preschool-aged children to adults), across programs (education, therapy, adult services, life skills, family support, and community engagement), and across the autism spectrum.
