HOPE Giving Circle

Welcome to the HOPE Giving Circle

Looking for a way to connect with inspiring women, give back to your community, and have fun while doing it? You’ve found your circle.

The HOPE Giving Circle is a vibrant, welcoming group of changemakers who believe in the power of education and the joy of community. We’re people who lift each other up — and lift up students at Harper College through scholarships, mentorship, and leadership opportunities.

Whether you're new to philanthropy or a seasoned giver, HOPE is a place where your voice matters, your impact multiplies, and your friendships flourish.

Changing lives, one scholarship at a time

HOPE members pool their resources to fund generous scholarships for Harper College students who are ready to take the next big step in their education journey.

Each scholarship includes:

• $10,000 in financial support
• Personal mentorship from HOPE members
• Access to leadership and professional development opportunities

These students are driven, determined and deserving -- and you can help them thrive.

Become a HOPE Giving Circle Member or Supporter today.

Events that spark joy

HOPE events are where connection meets celebration.

From elegant receptions to energizing networking nights, our gatherings are designed to bring people together, share stories, and celebrate the impact we're making. You'll leave every event feeling inspired and probably with a few new friends.
