HOPE Charitable Foundation became a registered not-for-profit charity in June 2015 and was founded in Adelaide, South Australia on a commitment to inspiring hope in those who need it most. The ongoing Syrian refugee crisis, which began to draw worldwide attention in 2011, prompted the coming together of two cousins with a desire to make a difference. Their shared vision and commitment to taking an active role in helping those in need culminated in the birth of HOPE, a 100% not for profit charity consisting of 6 dedicated volunteers with a clear mandate to inspire hope in those who need it most. HOPE is simply focused on supporting those in need, regardless of their race, gender, politics or religious beliefs. Although HOPE was born in response to the Syrian Refugee Crisis, this is only one of the ongoing projects being undertaken by the foundation. HOPE is committed to responding to those in need both globally and locally with other projects underway, such as supporting the homeless in Adelaide, assisting impoverished communities in Zambia and funding community empowerment projects around Australia and the world. Your donations and contributions towards fundraising are greatly appreciated and not only provide practical support but also contribute to restoring hope, which has the power to transform lives. HOPE was designed so that you can choose how and where you make a difference. You can make a general donation to the foundation to support our projects or you can nominate to direct your contribution to any of the individual projects being undertaken by HOPE.
