Donate to the HOPE Foundation

The HOPE Foundation is grateful for all support. Our close alignment with Hypertherm Associates allows us to keep operating costs to a minimum so nearly 100 percent of your tax-deductible donation can support vital work in our community.

You may donate using your credit card or a linked bank account through PayPal. If you choose PayPal, please be aware that PayPal will charge the HOPE Foundation a 3% processing fee. Some donors choose to increase their donation to cover the fee, allowing the original donation amount to remain intact.

You may also choose to donate using your Venmo account.  Please scan the QR code to the right, or search in your Venmo app under charities for Hypertherm HOPE Foundation. The fee charged to HOPE for this service is 1.9% plus 0.10 per transaction. Some donors choose to increase the amount of the transaction to cover the fee, allowing the original donation amount to remain intact.

We are happy to discuss specific allocations that align with your interests and the scope of the Foundation for donations greater than $25,000. For donors interested in funding an endowment, the Melissa and Carey Chen Endowment Fund welcomes all contributions.

In addition, we are able to accept the following gifts. Please contact our team to talk through the details.

• Estate gifts or bequests

• Gifts of stock

• Memorial and honorary gifts

We recognize all donors so please let us know if you want your donation to remain anonymous. Thank you for considering the HOPE Foundation as your charity of choice. View donors >
