Hope Ignites Network Headquarters and affiliates ensure mission fidelity and consistency in quality operations through affiliation and service agreements, careful monitoring and evaluation, and a culture of learning and growth. Each affiliate operates as a licensee, is independently incorporated, and governed by its own board of directors.

Our Network mantra is One Team One Mission.
We work together. We lead collaboratively. We share best practices and solve problems collectively. We embrace learning and innovation. We value the background, experience, and expertise of every team member. And, we’re all here to provide the best possible experience to the young people we serve.
The Network Scholarship Fund provides critical financial support to our collegians.
As the costs of higher education continue to rise, Hope Ignites has remained a stalwart source of support for our low-income collegians and their families.
