I’m grateful for those who have reached out over the last weeks to ask how HOPE International is impacted by the recent changes to U.S. foreign assistance funding. Thank you for your concern, friendship, and prayers.
The short answer is that outside of one-time funding opportunities (e.g., related to COVID-19 shutdowns), HOPE does not accept government funding. Even though our ability to continue providing Christ-centered poverty alleviation services is not directly impacted, I am concerned about the impacts on HOPE and our partners—even in the short term—and on many families around the world.
