About H.O.P.E. Collective, Inc.

A TAX-EXEMPT 501(C)(3) NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION

The Mission

We mobilize organizations and create access to resources that address disparities in education, entrepreneurship, and health in rural communities, particularly for African Americans, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC). We are committed to creating opportunities for right now success and generations to come.

THE VISION

Being able to observe firsthand how the Covid-19 pandemic literally brought the world to a halt was implausible. Everyone watched in real-time, as organizations and governments tried to figure out what to do next. It was at that moment, that we realized that more intentional partnerships between the nonprofit and private sectors were needed to help address the inequities of those most often left behind. Rural communities are usually the first to feel the impact of what is happening in the world around us.


H.O.P.E. Collective, Inc. is committed to changing and shaping lives. The work that we do is aimed at providing a holistic approach to solving common challenges in many rural communities. We make sure our partners are empowered because we intentionally create opportunities for individuals and organizations to collaborate. The goal is to help establish or strengthen existing programs in communities where the impact can be seen and experienced the most.

THE INITIATIVE



For our inaugural initiative in June 2023, we launched an entrepreneurship program for high school students in a rural community South Carolina. Beginning November 2023, we will launch an entrepreneurship club in a local middle school in the same locale.

Service Pillars of H.O.P.E.

EDUCATION

Education is foundational in reshaping the equity landscape for the Black, Indigenous and People Of Color (BIPOC) population. Statistical evidence points to education as an effective path for reducing poverty and closing the wealth gaps between groups that are historically underserved.

HEALTH

Rural communities around the globe share very common risks for increased health issues. Statistically, minority groups and immigrants have lower rates of health insurance coverage, less access to healthcare, and higher levels of negative care experiences as patients.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Lack of capital and cash flow is one of the biggest challenges for BIPOC business owners in rural communities. Historically, these groups have been at a disadvantage in accessing the necessary career counseling, business advisors, and mentors.
