Our goal is to award college scholarships to talented Hispanic youth as part of Fiesta of Hope. The dollars raised through Fiesta of Hope may very well mean the difference between a students ability to attend college in the fall, or falling behind.

Story

Esperanza Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to help Hispanic youth in Greater Cleveland attain academic achievement by providing access to post-secondary educational opportunities. Every year, Esperanza grants 100 scholarships to talented students who want to attend college or trade school.

Due to the pandemic, the annual fundraising event that funds these scholarships was impacted, and only 50% of the goal has been secured. Without the scholarships, students most likely will miss the opportunity to continue their education and their chances for a better future for themselves, their community, and our city.

Your donation will enable these students to continue their education, and above all, make a meaningful impact in their lives.

About the campaign

About the charity

For nearly four decades, Esperanza has zealously worked to help Hispanic youth make educational gains that will set the foundation for a successful future. Through culturally competent educational support services, social-emotional learning, and leadership development, we remove obstacles that if not addressed, often lead to generational poverty and low educational attainment. Our students know, understand, and leverage their potential, and parents not only have the tools to help their student succeed, but are given tools - such as free ESL classes at multiple skill levels - to help themselves succeed. Ultimately, these efforts lead to not only thriving students, adults and families but thriving communities.
