For far too many Americans, true financial freedom has been impossible.
Our mission is to advance economic opportunity by providing the tools they need to reach their goals. We help individuals of all ages by offering financial education, one-on-one coaching, courses on credit score improvement, as well as pathways toward homeownership and starting a business.
The cycle of struggling to get by each month has dominated kitchen tables and the desks of small business owners for generations. It is more than just “pulling yourself up by the bootstraps”—it is about knowing how to navigate a financial system that requires knowledge, experience and expertise in order to generate economic security for families and business, and to pass that on to our children.
Expanding economic opportunity for all.
Operation HOPE has a broad array of individualized services that level the playing field by offering customized one-on-one programs for youth, adults, and disaster survivors—on their own or through their employers—to equip them with the financial knowledge and tools they need to create a more secure future – all at no cost.
One of the Best Decisions of My Life
“Working with my HOPE small business coach helped me start my own business. My coach encouraged me to think “outside the box” and capitalize on my passions and strengths. I learned how to create a business plan which provided a strategy for starting my business, gave me insights on what steps to take, and identified the resources I needed to achieve my business goals.”
