Crossroads Foundation concentrates its giving on faith‑based education and family services, with sizable capital and program support for Christian schools, a Christian university, and faith‑based adoption and pregnancy support organizations. Grants are often designated for building campaigns or facility projects, and the foundation repeatedly funds a small set of favored organizations, reflecting a focused, mission‑driven portfolio rather than broad philanthropic diversification.
Crossroads Foundation’s recent giving is defined by repeated support for faith-based education and facilities work, especially major construction and campaign funding. The largest grants in the record go to Malone University for its Building a Bolder Vision campaign and to Saint Martin De Porres High School for phase II construction of a new school facility, showing a preference for capital projects rather than short-term program pilots. The foundation also backs Christian K-12 schools and faith-based family services, including recurring support for Spirit of Faith Adoptions and West Side Christian Academy. Its portfolio shows continuity over multiple years. Malone University appears with a 2023 grant for Pioneer Park and additional campaign funding in 2024 and 2025. Saint Martin De Porres also receives support across years, including construction and general support. That pattern suggests a funder that returns to a small set of organizations when projects remain active. Crossroads Foundation’s grants also reach pregnancy support and adoption work, with awards to Pregnancy Center Inc, Women's Refuge of Vero Beach, and Carenet Pregnancy Center of Indian River County. In addition, it makes grants to faith-based ministries and schools tied to Christian formation, indicating a clear mission-centered approach.
In Christian higher education, the foundation gave $100,000 in 2025 and $100,000 in 2024 to Malone University for the Building a Bolder Vision campaign, alongside a $99,179 grant in 2023 for Pioneer Park. That sequence points to sustained support for an institutional buildout. School facilities are another recurring theme. Saint Martin De Porres received $100,000 in 2025 and $50,000 in 2024 for phase II construction of a new school facility, while West Side Christian Academy received $25,000 in 2025 for its capital campaign and $25,000 in 2024 for expansion of upper school facilities. The foundation also funds faith-based family services. Spirit of Faith Adoptions received $65,067 in 2023 and $65,000 in both 2024 and 2025 for general support. Pregnancy-related support appears through a $100,000 challenge grant to Pregnancy Center Inc and a $19,200 grant to Carenet Pregnancy Center of Indian River County for the Saving the Unborn Online Project.
