Mission:
To end hunger and poverty worldwide while caring for the earth by building a platform for sustained giving over time.

Background:
Created by the Heifer Foundation, Hope Equity makes it possible for individuals, organizations, and businesses to support an unlimited number of charities and causes through its unique Micro-Endowment� (ME) model. Using the power of compound interest, Hope Equity invests a donor's gift in safe investment vehicles and makes a percentage of the interest available to a designated charity or cause every year, enabling the original gift to continue to grow.

Outstanding Web Features:
Self-billed as the "Facebook of Charity," the Hope Equity Web site features a variety of social networking tools — RSS feeds, blogs, and downloadable widgets — that enable individual donors with a passion to connect, share stories, and generate additional support for their favorite cause or charity.
