Hopa Mountain invests in citizen leaders of all ages in realizing the hopes and dreams for their hometowns.

Hopa Mountain invests in rural and tribal citizen leaders, adults and youth, who are working to improve education, ecological health, and economic development.

To invest... To believe in a return greater than what you put into it. Rural and Tribal... Because they are the backbone of the country. Citizens... Because we are all citizens. Brings us together and evens the playing field. Together we are a force for change. Leaders... Because they are the catalyst for change. They are the facilitators to create a ripple effect in communities.
