Circle of Hope

Help us dream big for families


The Circle of Hope is a special community of Generation Hope’s most generous supporters who have made multi-year investments in the future of our organization. 

This support will help Generation Hope meet the ambitious goals of our 2024 Strategic Plan, including almost doubling the numbers of families we support and expanding our efforts to address the systemic barriers facing student parents both locally and across the country.

We are proud to recognize our philanthropic partners through the Circle Of Hope while creating opportunities for them to engage with other members and leaders in the areas of higher education, entrepreneurship, and economic mobility, as well as Generation Hope leadership, staff, and Scholars.

“I have two little ones watching everything that I do, listening to everything that I say, and I want them to be proud of me. I want to show them that no matter what is put against you, you can succeed. Because to let the world tell it, I wasn’t supposed to survive what I have survived.”

“Generation Hope feels like having a huge boulder removed from your shoulders and being embraced by a group hug. It feels like home. Generation Hope Scholars are one-of-a-kind. I admire their work ethic, hunger for success, and ability to adapt to any situation. They remind me of a phoenix. Before the program we faced unimaginable hardships, but with Generation Hope we rise.”

- Scholar Alumna Jenifer, George Mason University
