Operation HOPE
IMG_8818.jpg

Operation HOPE is a non-profit located in Atlanta, GA that was founded by John Hope Bryant in 1992. I was first introduced to Mr. Bryant at the annual HOPE Global Forum in Atlanta earlier this year. His prowess as a CEO was on full display as he led several fireside chats with CEOs of billion-dollar companies! The more I was exposed to Mr. Bryant and his works, the more impressed I was with what he has accomplished over the past few decades. 

Operation HOPE is focused on "moving America from civil rights to 'silver rights' with the mission of making free enterprise and capitalism work for the underserved". One of their unique initiatives is the HOPE Inside program which is located in local financial institutions and public service buildings. This program equips the community with financial knowledge, including increasing their credit scores because as John puts it, "there has never been a riot in a 700 credit score community".
