Annual CHAP Mission and Freedom Fund

Make a difference by empowering families to shape the future of the next generation.

Helping Families Get Started

Starting on the homeschool journey in Pennsylvania can be confusing and scary, but it does not need to be.  Your donation today will help us to:

  • Provide resources for families to help understand and fulfill the law’s requirements.
  • Provide a friendly and helpful individual for families to speak with to give them direct answers and useful advice.
  • Connect families with evaluators, support groups, and testers.

Equipping and Encouraging Families Throughout the Journey

Traveling the journey requires perseverance and can lead to discouragement and giving up, especially when going it alone.  Your donation today will help us to:

  • Provide connections with families to local homeschool groups.
  • Provide low-cost conferences, seminars and events to provide the encouragement needed to go another year.
    • 35+ years hosting the annual CHAP Convention
    • Learning Differences and Special Needs Conference
    • Homeschool College and Career Exploration Day
    • Marriage Seminars and more…

Protecting Freedoms

The CHAP Homeschool Freedom Team continues to fight the battle in the Pennsylvania Legislature for your rights as parents to direct the education of your children, but it takes ongoing resources to make this happen.  We need you to partner with us in fighting for Homeschool Freedom in Pennsylvania.  Your donation today will help us to:

  • Continue to monitor any bills threatening homeschool freedom and your role as a homeschooling parent.
  • Build and strengthen individual relationships with your legislators to promote homeschool freedom.
  • Testify before the Pennsylvania Legislature.
  • Alert the homeschoolers of Pennsylvania to any action steps needed!
  • Advocate for homeschooling in the diverse communities of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

The CHAP Foundation

Helping Home Educators in Times of Need

The CHAP Foundation assists homeschoolers facing the challenges of beginning homeschooling, addressing medical needs and handling emergency situations.

As available funds grow and multiply through the generous donations of individuals and companies, the CHAP Foundation will be helping more and more homeschoolers as God provides.

All donations are tax-deductible and are used to help families who are committed to Christ centered, parent directed, privately funded home based discipleship and homeschooling.

We encourage you to pray that God would use the CHAP Foundation to bless homeschool families in the future.
