Ways to Give Hope
When I started understanding what Partners were—these were actual people who have been helping me since kindergarten—that just made me so grateful.
Holistic Education to Urban Youth
Students K-12
Amazing Results
96% Graduation Rate
Millions of dollars in college scholarships.
Remarkable Stewardship
Cost Per Student
Hope Academy uses the nationally-normed NWEA MAP standardized math & reading tests to measure proficiency in grades 3-9. Public schools in Minnesota use the MCAs to measure proficiency in grades 3-11. “Local Schools” are public schools within a 2.5 mi radius of Hope Academy, where at least 50% of students are low-income (qualify for Free & Reduced Lunch) and at least 70% of students are students of color. Academic results are from 2019. Data provided for context, not as an exact comparison.
Support a Student
Partners sponsor one or more students to attend Hope Academy with gifts of $4,500 (half) & $9,000 (full).
It saved my child. I truly believe that she could have gone the wrong way with the wrong children, and I can't tell you enough how lucky we are that she has found Hope Academy.
Make a Boaz Gift
Boaz givers make generous provision for more urban youth to attend Hope, with gifts of $25,000, $50,000 or more.
I can think of no ministry which has consistently yielded Christ centered outcomes more powerfully than Hope Academy. The Lord’s favor has long remained on this great ministry and its superb leadership team and faculty.
