HOPE Street would not exist without the dedication and support of our donors. Over the past four years, individuals and foundations have donated more than $500,000. This generous outpouring has enabled us to purchase our existing building, renovate it, make necessary repairs, furnish our apartments, and most of all, give HOPE to our residents and change their lives. Thank you for not growing weary, for together we can reap a harvest!

Over the past four years, we have been especially grateful for the generosity of the following foundations: The Bradley Foundation, the Milwaukee Foundation, the Kettle Moraine Foundation, Fleck Foundation, Stacker Foundation, Elizabeth Brinn Foundation, Ashley Foundation, Faye McBeath, and the Chapman Foundation. Hope Street received a grant from Greater Milwaukee Foundation's Walter and Olive Stiemke Fund.

Despite the generousity of our past donors, we still need continual financial support. Since we do not receive any governmental assistance, we have to meet an annual budget of $250,000. We accomplish this through modest program fees, direct mailings, special gatherings and banquets, and faithful giving by individuals and foundations. We also attempt to get local churches involved. With so many other causes, the competition for donors can be overwhelming. Any assistance is greatly appreciated!
