The Need

Young people, especially those from underrepresented communities, face financial hardship, family stressors, parent/guardian illness, neighborhood violence, or an underperforming school—significant barriers to realizing their potential.

Our Approach

We’re with our scholars and their families for the long-term—middle school through career launch. Through Residential and Academy settings, we equip them with life preparedness, empowered learning, personal development, leadership & service, and college & career readiness.

The HOPE You Provide

From California to New York, and Detroit to Guatemala, your gift is an investment in our programming, scholarships, and career pathways that directly and deeply benefit young people who have tremendous ability and just need the opportunity.

OTHER WAYS TO GIVE

NAME CHANGE AND DONATIONS

We’re so grateful for your support of Hope Ignites, formerly Boys Hope Girls Hope! As we work through our legal name change with the Internal Revenue Service, we need your help to ensure gifts reach us without delay.

We’ve seen some confusion in online giving portals during this transition. While we’re updating our name to Hope Ignites in these systems, some portals and donor-advised fund (DAF) databases may still list us as Boys Hope Girls Hope until the IRS change is complete. Please double-check the name, address, and EIN before you give:

Name: Hope Ignites (or Boys Hope Girls Hope)
Address: 5257 Shaw Avenue, Suite 202 St. Louis, MO 63110
EIN: 51-0182614

Once your gift is made, you can help us with one additional step—email bill.fronczak@hopeignites.org so we can confirm it’s been received and applied as intended.

Thank you for standing with us during this transition—we couldn’t do this without you.
