Project HOPE

What Project HOPE does

Project HOPE is a 65+ year-old international nonprofit health organization (501(c)(3), Tax ID 53-0242962) headquartered in Washington, DC, that delivers humanitarian and health programs across more than 32 countries and territories. Founded in 1958, the organization works alongside local health workers, ministries of health (e.g., Ethiopian Ministry of Health), and multilateral bodies to reduce preventable mortality and strengthen fragile health systems. Its service portfolio is structured as three program pillars — Urgent Relief (Disaster Risk Reduction, Disease Outbreaks, Emergency Response, Humanitarian Aid, WASH), Integrated Solutions (Climate & Health, Health Access, Innovation & Technology, Medical Supply Chain, Mental Health, Policy & Advocacy, Protection & Safeguarding), and Lasting Impact (Infectious Diseases, Noncommunicable Diseases, Training Health Workers, Women, Newborn, & Child Health) — with operational capabilities including 42 Mobile Medical Units in Ukraine, four in Lebanon, seven primary/maternal health clinics in Gaza, and a wholly-owned publishing arm, Health Affairs. The organization reached 4.9 million people in the past year, including 1.4 million women, newborns, and children, and maintains accreditations from Charity Navigator, Charity Watch, BBB, and a 2025 Platinum Transparency designation.

Project HOPE's business model is mission-driven rather than commercial: it is funded through individual and institutional donations, U.S. government grants (notably from the U.S. Department of State and HRSA), corporate philanthropic partnerships (AstraZeneca, Kimberly-Clark, Baby2Baby), and participation in medical-donation coordination bodies (PQMD, WHO Global Health Cluster). Its go-to-market combines enterprise/government-relations (institutional grants, ministry partnerships), community-led field delivery through local NGO implementing partners (Casa Marioarei, La Rascruce, Rene Moawad Foundation, ANERA, Regina Pacis, SAMU, The Moldova Project), and event-driven advocacy (e.g., sponsorship of the SECURE Health Act). It pursues a multi-channel awareness and fundraising strategy anchored in owned social platforms, email, content, PR, and on-the-ground activations.
