HOPE Scholarships Offer New Way for Operation HOPE Clients to Access up to $10,000 Worth of Financial Coaching Services at No-Cost through the Support of HOPE’s Partners, Members and Donors
ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Operation HOPE, a national nonprofit dedicated to helping low-and moderate-income Americans thrive in an ever-changing economy, announced today that it has launched HOPE Scholarships, a new way for Operation HOPE’s clients to access HOPE’s award-winning, no-cost financial coaching and educational resources and for partners, members and donors to support HOPE’s services to underserved communities.
While financial coaching rates can range between $100 and $300 per hour on average, Operation HOPE is committed to providing best-in-class financial coaching services at no cost to its clients. This is possible though the generous support of HOPE’s partners, members and donors. Now, HOPE clients can get access to HOPE’s financial coaching services and HOPE partners, members and donors can support HOPE’s efforts through three scholarship levels:
“HOPE Scholarships offer our partners, members and donors the ability to direct contributions to individual communities and entities at an investment level that is right for them, while offering our clients the ability to continue to access HOPE’s award-winning financial wellness programs and services at no-cost,” said Brian Betts, President and Chief Financial Officer at Operation HOPE. “This new initiative further illuminates the monetary value of the services to our clients, which can add up to as much as $10,000 in value, and how the support of our partners, members and donors helps to level the economic playing field and make critical financial tools and coaching accessible to all.”
The launch of HOPE Scholarships coincides with the upcoming annual meeting of the HOPE Global Forums from December 9-11 in Atlanta, which brings together thousands of Operation HOPE’s corporate partners, donors and members and gives them the opportunity to see first-hand the impact of their scholarship investments through client testimonials and success stories. The HOPE Global Forums is also a venue for gathering hundreds of new commitments to support HOPE programs that serve millions of youth and adults around the world.
