A Future
Hope Ignites New York provides one of New York City’s only long-term, holistic youth-development pathways—combining daily academic tutoring, social and emotional learning and wellness support, residential stability, tuition access, and college-to-career guidance so young people can rise, thrive, and build strong futures.
The Need
Young people, especially those from underrepresented communities, face financial hardship, family stressors, parent/guardian illness, neighborhood violence, or an underperforming school—significant barriers to realizing their potential.

NAME CHANGE AND DONATIONS
We’re so grateful for your support of Hope Ignites New York, formerly Boys Hope Girls Hope of New York! As we work through our legal name change with the Internal Revenue Service, we need your help to ensure gifts reach us without delay.
We’ve seen some confusion in online giving portals during this transition. While we’re updating our name to Hope Ignites in these systems, some portals and donor-advised fund (DAF) databases may still list us as Boys Hope Girls Hope until the IRS change is complete. Please double-check the name, address, and EIN before you give:
Name: Hope Ignites New York (or Boys Hope Girls Hope of New York)
EIN: 13-2990982
Thank you for standing with us during this transition—we couldn’t do this without you.
