Charity Works promotes charitable giving and aids tax-exempt organizations by assisting them in managing their funds more effectively when used to acquire needed resources from others.
Charity Works Inc centers its grantmaking on GIVE HOPE USA, a holiday gift-giving and basic-needs program that moves toys, clothing, and other necessities to economically disadvantaged children and adults in the Tampa Bay area. The program is coordinated with local charities, schools, and other nonprofits, which makes Charity Works less a traditional discretionary grantmaker than a funder that channels resources through community partners serving immediate household needs. The recent grants list shows that the largest share of support goes to a small set of recurring partners. Samaritans Purse received $1,530,809 in 2025 through GIVE HOPE USA, while Florida Elks Charities Inc received $487,421 in 2025 and $252,698 in 2023 for the same program. Other recipients include Pinellas County Public Schools, Created Woman Inc, Support the Troops, and The Salvation Army, all tied to GIVE HOPE USA. The mix of schools, charities, and local nonprofits points to a grantmaker focused on distribution capacity and practical delivery of goods rather than unrestricted cash support.
One major theme is holiday and basic-needs assistance. GIVE HOPE USA provided $106,432 to Pinellas County Public Schools for holiday gifts and basic necessities, showing how Charity Works routes support through education partners as well as nonprofits. Another theme is welfare and emergency support for local families. Created Woman Inc received $83,960 in 2024 and $12,638 in 2025 through GIVE HOPE USA, both tied to the same basic-needs and wellness-medical-aid framework. The foundation also funds organizations that distribute goods and services to underserved households. Support the Troops received $38,789 in 2025, and The Salvation Army received $11,295 in 2025, both through GIVE HOPE USA. Across these awards, the common thread is direct aid for children and adults rather than program innovation or policy work.
Charity Works Inc gives in a wide range, with a p25 of $8,875, a median grant of $10,480, and a p75 of $83,029. That distribution shows many smaller awards, alongside a smaller number of much larger gifts. The recent grant list also shows repeat support to the same recipients across multiple years, especially Florida Elks Charities Inc and Created Woman Inc, which suggests an ongoing relationship rather than one-time awards. The foundation is a corporate or operating-style grantmaker tied to a defined program structure, and the grants shown are tied to named initiatives such as GIVE HOPE USA and the Charitable Alliance Network.

Charity Works Inc gives locally: 100% of recipient grants in the dataset go to Florida organizations, and Florida is also the top state by grant count. The largest city clusters in the recent grants are Clearwater, Tampa, and St. Petersburg, with additional awards in Largo, Riverview, Pinellas Park, Wesley Chapel, Umatilla, and Jacksonville. The recipient mix also includes one out-of-state charity in Boone, North Carolina, through a Florida-based program channel.
Its core program is GIVE HOPE USA, which provides holiday gifts, clothing, toys, and basic necessities to economically disadvantaged children and adults. The recent grants also show support for wellness-medical aid and local charities that help distribute those items in the Tampa Bay area.
The grant-size distribution is fairly compact at the low end, with a p25 of $8,875 and a median of $10,480. The upper quartile rises to $83,029, reflecting some substantially larger awards alongside many smaller grants.
The recipient-country data shows 23 grants, all to U.S. organizations, and 100% of the grants in the dataset go to Florida recipients. The recent list includes Florida cities such as Clearwater, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Largo, Riverview, and Jacksonville.
Yes. Florida Elks Charities Inc appears in both 2023 and 2025, and Created Woman Inc appears in both 2024 and 2025. That pattern suggests Charity Works Inc often renews support for the same partners.
The data shows that Give Hope USA accepts unsolicited requests, while Charitable Alliance Network and Cooperative Purchasing Initiatives do not. The MONOPOLY Night sponsorship opportunity also accepts unsolicited participation, but that is a fundraising event rather than a grant program.
