HOPE Foundation

The HOPE (Hypertherm Owners’ Philanthropic Endeavors) Foundation was founded in 2010 as a public grant-making nonprofit 501(c)(3) foundation to formalize the U.S.-based financial giving we had been doing for decades across a handful of focus areas. In New Hampshire, a dozen volunteer Associates, representing a cross-section of areas within our company, comprise the Upper Valley HOPE Team and make all grant allocation decisions on behalf of the Foundation. We have similar HOPE teams for shared decision-making in all our regional offices, each serving its respective communities. The HOPE Foundation does not fund organizations that discriminate based on race, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or ethnicity.
