For 28 years, HOPE has invested in the dreams of underserved families.

But the need is still great: Almost 700 million people live on less than $2.15 a day.*

That's why we're boldly scaling our impact to unlock more potential and share the Gospel. God is calling us to dream beyond our current boundaries. We're accelerating and expanding our proven models—Christ-centered savings groups and microfinance—to reach the people and communities that need them most.

We invite you to join us in Dreaming Beyond Our Boundaries!

Dreaming Beyond:

where we're headed

Amid the pandemic, we took a step of faith, establishing our 2021-2025 goals (see below) to reflect our desire to move beyond our limitations and accelerate our efforts to reach more families. And four years in, God has exceeded our expectations yet again: We've already surpassed some of the goals we'd set out to accomplish! But, we're not stopping when we reach a goal, because there are many more families yet to be served. We look forward to seeing what God will do as we Dream Beyond together.
