NAME CHANGE AND DONATIONS

We’re so grateful for your support of Hope Ignites Northeastern Ohio, formerly Boys Hope Girls Hope of Northeastern Ohio! 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 Northeastern Ohio (or Boys Hope Girls Hope of Northeastern Ohio)
EIN: 34-1534921

 Once your gift is made, you can help us with one additional step—email Michelle Bailin at [email protected] so we can confirm it’s been received and applied as intended.

Thank you for standing with us during this transition—we couldn’t do this without you.
