Your support provides funding for student scholarships, faculty development and research, and exceptional facilities for academics, residential and spiritual life, and sports venues. Our priorities are clearly stated in the College's strategic plan.  College Advancement's role is to work to secure funding for the strategic initiatives.

We, as members of the Hope community, are fortunate to be in the company of each other as a community of students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents and friends.  Thank you for your partnership and for your confidence in the Hope experience.  Together, over 9,620 supporters of Hope College have an extraordinary and critical affect on the quality of a Hope education for all students and each unique student journey.  Thank you for your partnership.
