About Operation HOPE

Since its inception in 1992, Operation HOPE has served more than 2.8 million individuals. HOPE has also directed more than $2.4 billion in private capital to America's low-wealth communities, maintaining a network of more than 24,000 HOPE Corps volunteers.

Operation HOPE is on a mission to make the system of free enterprise work for everyone, supporting a broad range of services including homeownership counseling, credit and money management counseling, 700 Credit Score Communities, small business empowerment programs and a comprehensive youth entrepreneurship-training course called HOPE Business-In-A-Box.

Operation HOPE recently received its seventh consecutive 4-star charity rating for fiscal management and commitment to transparency and accountability by the prestigious non-profit evaluator, Charity Navigator.
