Year-Round Presenting Partner — Hope Chicago 2026

Two events. One story. This summer, hundreds of Hope Scholars and their families will gather at the GoalGetters Conference — a multi-day experience where students heading into their first year of college get the tools, the network, and the belief they need to finish what they've started. A few months later, Chicago comes together at Hopecoming to celebrate what's already been accomplished — and this year, for the first time, that includes the first wave of Hope Scholars crossing the finish line, graduating debt-free with their families beside them.

We're looking for one presenting partner who wants to hold that full arc: to invest in students at the threshold in the summer, and stand in the room at the Obama Presidential Center when the story lands in the fall. That partner's name will be on every stage, every invitation, and every piece of this year that matters most.

We're offering this partnership for the first time in our 5th year — because this year is different.
