The HOPE Mission
HOPE (Helping Other People Everywhere) is an energy conscious 501©3 non-profit focused on involving artists and their contributions in campaigns, programs, and events to support existing social projects that promote education and peace around the world.

HOPE was co-founded by Creative Producer/Graphic Designer Andi Scull and International Cease Fire Monitor, human rights advocate, and former Marine Captain Brian Steidle. They believe artists and creatives worldwide can use talent, skill, and determination to aid human rights issues and sustainable global growth worldwide.

In 2007, HOPE worked to bring the crisis in Darfur to the forefront of the media by raising awareness through the creative class and developing collaborative projects and funds to help existing social projects move forward in sustainability.

With the help of Shepard Fairey, Obey Giant and several other groups and artists, HOPE brought awareness of the genocide to over 10 million people and funded educational programs for Darfur and six other projects in Africa.

HOPE is expanding in the U.S. and abroad through collaborations with more artists and partners in the form of talent, technology, products and funds for 09 HOPE Projects and Events.

Be involved. Join HOPE and help bring artists and media to places in need.
