Legacy Partners Lead the Way!

Together, through current and/or estate giving, you can join a growing movement of Legacy Partners who are ensuring that Hope Academy remains a beacon of hope in Minneapolis by supporting one or more students in perpetuity.

We envision 200 low-income children having a perpetual spot at Hope Academy by 2030. So far, through current giving and estate intentions, 28 Legacy Partners are already making this vision a reality for 55 children (as of February  2025). By becoming a Legacy Partner, you will ensure that a low-income child is equipped with the tools to lead a life of impact.

Your gift helps endow future generations!

Free & Faithful Legacy Fund

Started in 2019, the Free and Faithful Legacy Fund is a bold initiative to ensure that Hope Academy continues to provide a high quality, faith-based education for generations to come. Through this fund, Legacy Partners are helping us secure a perpetual seat of opportunity for hundreds of children. Each gift to the Legacy Fund does more than secure a spot in a Hope Academy classroom; it provides a lasting opportunity for a child to grow, learn, and thrive in an environment that nurtures human flourishing and Gospel-centered hope. We invite you to extend your impact beyond your lifetime by becoming a Legacy Partner.

A Hope-filled Story

John and Tina support two students at Hope Academy. They love being Student Partners and want Hope Academy to be available for low-income children beyond their lifetimes. Their estate plan leaves the bulk of their estate to their three children and five grandchildren. However, they decided to carve out a $700,000 estate gift by naming Hope Academy as the secondary beneficiary on John's IRA. They're pleased to know that:

  • The gift will continue to grow tax-deferred in John's IRA
  • The IRA is available for Tina's needs if John passes first
  • They'll avoid income/estate taxes when the IRA is transferred to Hope Academy
  • Their support of two students will continue beyond their lifetime!
