關於 Operation HOPE, Inc.
Since 1992, Operation HOPE has been moving America from civil rights to "Silver Rights" with the mission of making free enterprise and capitalism work for the underserved—disrupting poverty for millions of low and moderate-income youth and adults across the nation. Through its award-winning community uplift model, HOPE Inside, which received the Innovator of the Year recognition by American Banker magazine, Operation HOPE has served more than 4 million individuals and directed nearly $4 billion in economic activity into disenfranchised communities—turning check-cashing customers into banking customers, renters into homeowners, small business dreamers into small business owners, minimum wage workers into living wage consumers, and uncertain disaster victims into financially empowered disaster survivors. Operation HOPE recently received Fast Company's World Changing Ideas Award for driving entrepreneurship as well as its eighth consecutive 4-star charity rating for fiscal management and commitment to transparency and accountability from the prestigious non-profit evaluator, Charity Navigator. This year, HOPE also launched The 1865 Project, an initiative designed to help level the economic playing field for underserved Americans. For more information: OperationHOPE.org.

自1992年以來，希望行動一直在將美國從民權轉向 “白銀權利”，其使命是讓自由企業和資本主義爲弱勢群體服務——消除全國數百萬中低收入青年和成人的貧困。希望行動通過其屢獲殊榮的社區提升模式 “HOPE Inside”（該模式獲得了《美國銀行家》雜誌的年度創新者）爲超過400萬人提供了服務，並將近40億美元的經濟活動引向了被剝奪權利的社區——將支票兌現客戶變成銀行客戶，將租房者變成房主，將小企業的夢想家變成小企業主，將最低工資工人變成生活工資消費者，將不確定的災難受害者變成有經濟能力的災難倖存者。希望行動最近因推動企業家精神而獲得了Fast Company頒發的 “改變世界的理念獎”，並連續第八次獲得著名的非營利評估機構Charity Navigator頒發的財務管理和對透明度和問責制的承諾的四星慈善評級。今年，HOPE還啓動了1865項目，該計劃旨在幫助得不到充分服務的美國人創造公平的經濟競爭環境。欲了解更多信息，請訪問 OperationHope.org。加入社交媒體上的對話，網址爲 @operationHOPE。
