Athletics: Orange and Blue Fund
Support the Student-Athlete Experience

Be Strong. Be True. The Orange and Blue Fund exists to help support the mission of Hope College and the Athletics program which will have a lasting impact on student-athletes, coaches and our community.  

The Orange and Blue Fund supports enhancements for all athletics teams and programming that promote academic success, competitive excellence and transformational experiences for our student-athletes.

Each year, the Athletics Administration Team and coaches will work together to identify the greatest needs, wishes and desires for the Hope Athletics program that cannot be addressed through other financial avenues. In order to help us stay in compliance with NCAA and federal equity guidelines, we ask that you support the Orange and Blue Fund and not designate your gift to a team or program.

Thank you so much for your choosing to support our student-athletes. Go, Hope!
