EHEP (Equity in Home Education Program)
Are you from a disadvantaged, historically underrepresented, or low-income background? Does your student need a laptop, headset, microphone, or better access to internet services? Do you feel you are not budgeting well enough to maximize your funds? Maybe you can’t find the resources you need when you need them most? The truth is, we’ve been there, done that. That’s why we created EHEP to help solve these problems.
EHEP Keeps You Homeschooling Your Way!

We provide you with the support you need to flourish while homeschooling. We provide laptops, homeschool materials, resources, budgeting assistance, and micro-grants to families in need. This program’s focus is providing support and resources to underrepresented homeschooling families from minority and low-income backgrounds. We give you the peace of mind you need to homeschool without breaking the bank. National applications open May 1st, 2023. Aid is given on a first come, first served basis.

Funds Raised for EHEP 2022
Help Us Help More Families!
Most people call it a wishlist. We have built a needs list, full of items we would love to have donated to make our care packages even more all-inclusive and tailored to kids’ needs. Please take time to contribute one or more item(s)!
Every item goes directly to a child in need!

Thanks to our main donor, VELA Education Fund, we were able to secure enough funding to provide approx. 1000 families with aid packages and an additional 500+ families with digital support, materials, and live classes this year!
That breaks down to 300 national applications and 700+ local EHEP applications from within partner localities.
