Endowment
Your investment in the Hope College endowment is an investment in Hope’s future.
Our endowment generates a permanent source of income that is used to provide financial aid to students, expand student-faculty research opportunities, continue academic initiatives, recruit and retain exceptional faculty and support programs in perpetuity.
Establishing an endowment is a visionary and generous act that will benefit Hope. It will give the college a competitive edge now and far into the future.
Your gift can be designated to support specific work that is meaningful to you, or it can be unrestricted, making it a resource for timely or critical priorities and opportunities.
