The Volunteer Board and Staff of the Brain Injury Hope Foundation (BIHF), a Colorado nonprofit 501(c)3 formally known as the Brain Trust, provides resources and education about the life-changing symptoms of head injuries and what to do to get better. The BIHF is one of a kind with its Emergency Financial Funds to help pay for living expenses for Mild to Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI) survivors in Colorado. Our educational program, the Survivor Series, is for brain injury survivors, their families, caregivers and medical professionals.
The Brain Injury Hope Foundation (BIHF) is a small foundation with big ideas. The BIHF is funded by donations/grants from individuals, organizations and fundraisers. Your donation gives double benefits by educating MTBI survivors in Colorado through the Survivor Series program and contributes to the Emergency Financial Funds to assist MTBI survivors with living expenses, such as rent, utilities and food. This is considered a “hand up” not a “hand out” to help survivors stay in their homes during recovery.
n 1999, Kay Jones, MS, LCSW, and Mary Ann Keatley, Ph.D, CCC, Speech-Language Pathologist and Neurotherapist, noticed that many of their patients were unable to obtain funding for basic living expenses, such as food, rent and utilities. Dr. Keatley and Kay Jones cofounded The Brain Trust DBA the Brain Injury Hope Foundation (BIHF) with an all Volunteer Staff and Board which has continued to give emergency funding to hundreds of MTBI survivors in Colorado. The mission of the BIHF also continues to educate MTBI survivors, family members and medical and other professionals about the symptoms and treatment options of this “invisible injury.” The Brain Injury Hope Foundation is expanding its Board and educational services. The Survivor’s Series Program has been added to broaden its reach in education and training in the brain injury community.
