Your gifts make a remarkable, God-centered
education possible for hundreds of youth at Hope Academy.

Spread out your giving and sustain our ministry.

‍

• Your regular contributions can be automatically debited from your bank account or credit card. If you change your mind, give us a call to change or cancel your recurring gift.
• On our online gift form, scroll down to select “Give a Monthly Recurring Gift.”

Giving appreciated stock can save you money on taxes and allow you to give more.

‍

• Step 1: If you would like to give a gift through a stock transfer, refer to the following: Charles Schwab, “Hope Academy,” Account #7619-2343 (DTC # is -0164).

• Step 2: After you have transferred the stock, contact Lisa Quinn at lisaquinn@hopeschool.org / 612-540-2076, so we know who has gifted the stock. If Lisa is unavailable, you may also contact Annie Oakes at annieoakes@hopeschool.org / 612-540-2067. PLEASE NOTE: If you don't let us know you've transferred stock, we won't know who the gift is from. Please make sure to notify us!

Gifts can be made honor of a person or occasion, such as a wedding. Contact Lisa Quinn in the Development Office to know the details. Gifts in honor or memory can also be designated using our online giving platform.

Employee giving programs can make your giving go even further.

‍

• Please contact your employer to see if they offer a matching gift program. We are a 501(c)(3) organization and a fully accredited K-12 school, and we are eligible for nearly all matching gift programs.

Setting up a donor advised fund through a charitable giving channel (community foundation, National Christian Foundation, your financial advisor's brokerage firm, etc.) is a great way to maximize your tax savings and streamline your giving.

‍

• If you would like to designate a gift to Hope Academy through your donor advised fund, please use the Employer Identification Number (EIN) 41-1962874. For more information about the benefits of donor advised funds, please contact Jim Stigman or our friends at the National Christian Foundation.

‍

• We typically welcome donations of books, winter clothing, or school supplies. Learn more here!

By giving to the Free and Faithful Legacy Fund or including Hope Academy in your estate plans (will bequests, life insurance, retirement plans, life-income arrangements, and other deferred giving options), you help provide long-term sustainability for Hope Academy—giving more children hope for this life and beyond.

‍

• By Check: Make check payable to Hope Academy and include a note with your contact information (email/phone) and where gift should be designated (i.e. annual fund, Hope Rising campaign). Mail to the attention of Lisa Quinn, 2300 Chicago Avenue South, Minneapolis MN 55404.
• Highly Appreciated Assets: Gifting appreciated assets, such as real estate, personal property, businesses, or publicly traded securities, can financially benefit you and Hope Academy. Contact Jim Stigman, or our friends at the National Christian Foundation, to learn about the tax and giving benefits.

God is providing an amazing opportunity to double the number of students Hope Academy can serve by expanding and renovating our facility. The Hope Rising Campaign will allow us to serve 400-500 more children, amplify faith formation and career exploration for students, equip and support parents, and fuel hope in Christ and bright futures for more families in Minneapolis.
