Hope Endowment is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to empower children in India to transcend poverty by providing a safe, caring, compassionate home and prepare them with education and social development. By blending these services, Hope Endowment seeks to provide a lifetime commitment to these children’s growth in the world.

The children Hope Endowment serves are between the ages of three and 18 years. All of the children are provided with housing, food, clothing, health care, educational opportunities and social services. The organization provides financial assistance to over 180 children across three homes in India that span from north to south located in Gujarat and Kerala.

Since inception, Hope Endowment has donated over $1,000,000 to meet the daily needs of the children it serves, increase awareness in society, create educational opportunities for growth, establish permanent dwellings in these locales and most importantly, grow the endowment to allow the organization to help the children for years to come.

This year, Hope Endowment’s goal is to increase previous years’ donations. The ultimate goal is to raise $250,000 at the Fourth Annual Hope Gala. All fundraising dollars collected at the events from individual donors go directly to the children.

“We are honored to once again join Hope Endowment in their mission to empower children in India to transcend poverty by providing a safe, caring, compassionate home and prepare these children with education and social development,” said Chris Siebenaler, CEO at Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital. Hope Endowment thanks Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital for their continued support as the presenting sponsor for the Hope Endowment’s Fourth Annual Once Upon a Time gala.

The Once Upon a Time gala,presented by Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital, is scheduled for Saturday, September 20th at the Sugar Land Marriott Town Square.
