Bridging the Digital Divide: Our 2026 Vision and a Platinum Milestone
Since our last update in late 2024, the world of education has continued to shift—but our mission has remained rock-solid.
As we move through 2026, Strike HOPE is reaching new milestones in transparency, partnership, and direct student impact. Whether you’ve been with us since our founding or you’re just joining the village, here is how your support is changing lives today.
1. A New Standard of Trust
We are incredibly proud to announce that we have earned the 2026 Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid (formerly GuideStar). This is the highest level of recognition a nonprofit can receive. It’s our promise to you that every dollar donated is working hard to empower a student.
2. Strategic Partnerships: Easterseals
Our “Workforce Partnership” with Easterseals has been a game-changer. By contributing dedicated personnel to our virtual operations, they’ve helped us scale our reach. This collaboration ensures that we have the talented “boots on the ground” (virtually!) to manage our tutoring programs and technology deployments across the country.
3. More Than a Chromebook
Hardware is essential, but it isn’t everything. Through our Hope for Parents initiative, led by the expert guidance of Dr. Deborah Miller, we are providing the tactical and emotional support parents need to lead their children’s education with confidence.
“They sent me a nice Chromebook and my children are able to accomplish more assignments at home! I definitely recommend helping if you can—it’s for a good cause.”
— Heather, Strike HOPE Parent
