How to partner with us
Become a Hope Investor
Hope Investors is a group of generous supporters who allow us to innovate by funding specific activities which are focused on growth. They are an extremely important part of our mission, intrinsic to our growth as a charity and vital to help us feed more hungry children with a daily meal in school. There are two main ways in which you can become a Hope Investor; by becoming a match funder to inspire the generosity of others or by supporting growth initiatives.
Smarter Giving and Donor Advised Funds
We are able to accept donations from Donor Advised Funds which can facilitate tax smart giving, gifts of assets, and gifts of shares. Find out more.
We would love to work with you directly, as potential donors, to identify bespoke funding projects to maximise your impact.

Our Impact
Our vision is that every child receives a daily meal in a place of education. With your support, we can move closer to our goal of ending child hunger and give all children the chance to gain an education.
By giving back, your donation makes a huge difference to the children we feed and their local communities. The impact of our work is highlighted in our key programme metrics from 2023:
The average monthly attendance rate was 88%.
The distribution of daily meals showed a balanced gender split, with girls receiving 50.4% and boys receiving 49.6% of meals respectively.
From 2020 to 2023, we saw a natural enrolment growth rate of 1.2% in our existing programme schools.
