HOPE CENTER FOUNDATION

The Hope Center is a one-of-a-kind 50(c)3 Christian nonprofit center that leases office space to over 60 Christian nonprofits. Funded through donations, The Hope Center offers these ministries significantly less than market rate rent, free event space, and many other accommodations in a servant-minded culture. THC nonprofits all have a common goal: to share Christ in North Texas and around the world. The Hope Center aims to foster a collaborative community that allows nonprofits to save money in overhead costs, establish synergy with other ministries, and ultimately have a greater impact in North Texas and around the world. The long-term goals of The Hope Center are to create space for even more nonprofits and to possibly open another Hope Center in the future.

To achieve these goals, The Hope Center must first be creative with space in their 185,000 square foot building. THC is frequently remodeling and adjusting office suites to open up more space for more nonprofits to lease. In addition, tenants are encouraged to evaluate their unused space so that they can sublease to nonprofits on the wait list. Currently, there are over 25 ministries on the waitlist. In addition to these efforts, THC is always sharing with others about the possibility of a second Hope Center in the U.S.

The Hope Center has been blessed with excellent capabilities to achieve their goals. These include a professional staff with a Director of Operations and Building Engineer, a Board of Reference and an active Board of Directors. In addition, THC also has a partnership with Holt Lunsford Commercial, a leading commercial real estate provider in the DFW area.
The significantly reduced market rate rent that THC receives from its tenants covers the basic costs of the building but not necessary upkeep and improvement costs such as security and IT upgrades. Because of this, The Hope Center must continue to grow their amount of donors, both major donors and new donors.
The Hope Center also rents out their event space to external Christian organizations, providing another source of income and an avenue to maintain relationships with outside nonprofits.

Over the last 11 years, The Hope Center has accomplished many things, including being a host site for National Day of Prayer for the last 5 years, creating a nonprofit job board platform called THC JobLink, and remodeling to transform common space into rental space. In the future, THC hopes to repurpose space for Admin offices so that growing nonprofits can expand, reduce the amount of time that nonprofits spend on the waitlist, eliminate security risks, and keep donations high enough to continue offering a significantly reduced market rate rent.
