Increasing costs and inflation have impacted our students, their families and Hope resources. Your support is more critical now than ever. It provides crucial resources that nurture the college’s growth and success as a world-class institution. Your gift supports academics, research, scholarships, extracurricular activities and service to others, which takes the collective, annual support of alumni, parents, friends, students, faculty and staff.
While making your gift, you'll be asked to “Tell us about yourself.” In this section, you can select your status as an alumni, parent, faculty/staff, etc. Select all that apply to you. To participate in the Greek Life Challenge, select the “Participate in the Greek Life Challenge” option. Once you’ve selected this option, you can pick your fraternity or sorority. To participate in the ONE Team Challenge, select "Participate in the Orange & Blue Challenge." Then, simply select the team you cheer for. You can choose to participate in multiple challenges in this section. You are not limited to just one.

You can easily make a gift to multiple funds, departments or programs. Follow the steps below to ensure your gifts land right where you want them. You have two options.
OPTION ONE: Select the amount you’d like to give to Hope College. Find the first fund you’d like to select. Click the plus symbol to the right of the fund’s name and then search for the second fund (and so on). Click the plus symbol next to the second fund’s name. You’ll now need to split your gift in the amount field. Please note that the full amount you originally selected will appear in the first fund you selected. You will need to manually adjust your desired split.
OPTION TWO: While making a gift, select the “Other (Leave Comment)” fund in the search bar. In the comment section, simply describe how you want to split your gift.
Click "Give Now" on the home page and type in a keyword to help you find the fund (ex. “Smith” for the John Smith Scholarship or “Chemistry” for the Department of Chemistry).
Still not finding your fund? Double-check that what you’re typing into the search bar is letter perfect. For example, typing “Smith” for the John Smythe Scholarship Fund will produce no results.
