HOPE Foundation
The HOPE (Hypertherm Owners’ Philanthropic Endeavors) Foundation was founded in 2010 as a public grant-making nonprofit 501(c)(3) foundation to formalize the U.S.-based financial giving we had been doing for decades across a handful of focus areas. In New Hampshire, a dozen volunteer Associates, representing a cross-section of areas within our company, comprise the Upper Valley HOPE Team and make all grant allocation decisions on behalf of the Foundation. We have similar shared decision-making HOPE teams in all our regional offices, each serving their respective communities.
Our HOPE Teams have awarded millions of dollars in grant support to hundreds of nonprofit organizations working on our shared mission of creating sustainable, positive change in the community and environment.
A Good Neighbor grant is a donation to a non-profit organization with a value of $500 or less.
HOPE Foundation grant decisions are made by the HOPE team comprised of Hypertherm Associates from all areas of the company. This team meets quarterly to review grant requests and typically communicates all decisions soon thereafter. If approved, you can expect to receive funds within two months of notification. It is important to note that depending on when your application is submitted within our quarterly review cycle, it could take six months before funds are received by your organization. Please plan your request accordingly based on your needs and our review cycle.
