THRIVING COMMUNITIES
As a local partner, you own the vision, oversee your programs and grow communities that are…
Economically Sustainable
Relationally Healthy
Soulfully Vibrant
What If?
What if you could create a pathway that truly empowered people toward a better life? A life built on their dignity and the inherent capacity to thrive.
Hope Ventures works with Partners who want to:
•Break unhealthy cycles of economic dependency
•Help people embrace their potential
•Equip entrepreneurs to grow successful businesses
•Harness the collective capacity of their local community
CUSTOM DESIGNED PROGRAMS
The “one size fits all” approach to economic development doesn’t work.
You know it and we know it.
It’s like going to a restaurant and letting a stranger order for you.
What you get might work, but it would probably be better if you ordered yourself.
Just because it worked “over there in that city” doesn’t mean it will work for you. We invite you to pick up a menu.
Even better, let’s step into the kitchen and create something people really want.
Start with the Right Stuff
Starting with the right ingredients, the best practices and processes of others, we help you create what your community wants and needs.
Using a design approach, we learn with you what your community is hungry for and what will help them thrive. You will identify the key players and partners necessary to launch a sustainable low-cost business startup program.
From equipping business mentors to training entrepreneurs, you will have the help you need toward a vibrant entrepreneurial community.
What Does It Cost?
It really does depend on the size and scope of your vision and the role you want us to play in our partnership.
We realize that every context and local partnership is different. That said, we expect our partners to have an appropriate investment and ownership of the project.
Your financial commitment will be in proportion to the size and scope of your program and the organizations involved. Project costs are impacted by such factors as location, number of participants, duration of support, infrastructure, learning and support opportunities, and projected outcomes. While Hope Ventures can provide guidance on fundraising, typical training costs and support associated with Hope Ventures can range from $2,500-$50,000.
Every worthwhile venture requires skin in the game.
