Who We Are
Operation HOPE is a nonprofit for-purpose organization working to disrupt poverty and empower economic inclusion for low and moderate-income youth and adults
Since 1992, Operation HOPE has been moving America from civil rights to “silver rights” with the mission of making free enterprise and capitalism work for the underserved—disrupting poverty and empowering economic inclusion for millions of low and moderate-income youth and adults across the nation.
Through their community uplift model, HOPE Inside, Operation HOPE has served more than 4 million individuals and directed more than $3 2 billion in economic activity into disenfranchised communities – turning check-cashing customers into banking customers, renters into homeowners, small business dreamers into small business owners, minimum wage workers into living wage consumers, and uncertain disaster victims into financially empowered disaster survivors.
Project 5117 is their multi-year four-pronged approach to combating economic inequality that aims to improve financial literacy, increase business role models and business internships for youth in underserved communities, and stabilize the American dream by boosting FICO scores
Operation HOPE has received four consecutive 4-star charity ratings, for fiscal management and commitment to transparency and accountability by the prestigious nonprofit evaluator, Charity Navigator.
