Who We Are
Unashamed HOPE is a purpose-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit rooted in one bold belief: that every child—regardless of circumstance—deserves the opportunity to thrive. Based in Chicago, our goal is to serve children and families living at the intersection of poverty, trauma, and systemic injustice.
Guided by the values of James 1:27, our mission is to restore hope, dignity, and opportunity by providing holistic programs that uplift entire families. Through education, mentorship, emotional care, and housing support, we aim not only to meet immediate needs—but to transform lives for generations to come
Why We Serve
The need is urgent—but the potential is enormous.
Behind these numbers are real children—bright, capable, full of promise—but too often written off by systems that fail them. Without support, these young individuals are at a higher risk of falling behind in school, experiencing homelessness, or becoming incarcerated, continuing the cycle of struggle that many of them have known for too long."
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
At Unashamed HOPE, we believe that with consistent support, every child can rise—and every family can rebuild.
Our Vision & Mission
At Unashamed HOPE, we believe in second chances, new beginnings, and the unstoppable strength of the human spirit.
Together—with faith, love, and your support—we are building a future where children rise, families heal, and communities flourish.
Our mission is to break cycles of hardship by providing wraparound support that meets families where they are—and walks with them toward where they can go.
We envision a community where every child has the chance to succeed, where families are uplifted, and where hope is more than a word—it’s a way forward.
Because hope is not just something we give—it's something we grow, together.
Can we count on your support?
At Unashamed HOPE, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to succeed, no matter their background. But we cannot do this work alone. We rely on the support of compassionate philanthropists like you to make our programs possible and to help break the cycle of poverty, homelessness, and trauma. Your generous contribution can change lives.
