We built Hope Factory because we believe in…

PEOPLE

We believe in the human spirit, and we believe that the world is at its best when people work together.

BUSINESS

We believe in the perseverance of people in business, and the people who are in the business of helping people.

COMMUNITY

Whether it is where you live or work, or however you define the Communities you are a part of, we believe that your Communities should be vibrant. And we know that you want them to be vibrant.

HOPE

We believe that as long as there is action, even small activity everyday, there is always reason to Hope for a better tomorrow for everyone.

We think a lot about hope, and so do others.

“...optimism is the belief that things will turn out all right; hope makes no such assumption but is a conviction that one can act to make things better in some way.”

Arthur C. BrooksHarvard Professor and Contributing Writer for "The Atlantic"
From the article "The Difference Between Hope and Optimism"

“In reference to Arthur C. Brooks' quote:
'In other words, Optimism is a nice sentiment while Hope does the heavy lifting. Hope is the spirit that pushes us to find solutions to the world’s greatest challenges.'”
