The album’s resounding success speaks volumes, with “Hope All Is Well” amassing nearly a million streams on various digital platforms.

Jon Hope’s influence extends beyond his music. His contribution to Diddy’s REVOLT TV has been a driving force behind several groundbreaking initiatives, including partnerships with Diddy’s Ciroc brand and advocacy for the Black Lives Matter movement. This showcases not only his musical talent but also his commitment to using his platform for meaningful change.

A true multihyphenate, Jon Hope wears many hats with finesse. In 2019, he founded the Hope Scholars Initiative, a non-profit youth development program rooted in hip-hop, based right in Providence, RI. This initiative stands as a testament to his dedication to fostering growth, creativity, and empowerment within his community.

As anticipation mounts, Jon Hope is diligently crafting his eighth album, which is set to be released under his very own Zayn Butler media company. This upcoming project promises to be a culmination of his artistic evolution, offering a glimpse into the mind of a visionary artist.

#GivingTuesday2025 is just around the corner, and we get it – there are so many wonderful local nonprofits seeking support this time of year!

Why include Roger Williams Park Conservancy in your giving plan? 

Behind the more than 50 free and low-cost programs hosted every year, the restoration of beloved historic structures still playing a role in the community today, and the expansive green spaces and waterways sustaining humans and wildlife alike, there are crucial partnerships and much hard work that goes into stewarding Roger Williams Park.

As Board Member Chris Lanen shares – and so many families can relate to! – "the Park provides [a] retreat into nature. Individually, it gives me a place to exercise and decompress. As a parent, it gives my child a magical place to play, explore, and learn throughout the year.”
