Deus Spes Mea Foundation concentrates its giving on evangelical Christian and humanitarian organizations, directing large, unrestricted gifts to faith-based ministries and mission programs. A substantial share of funding supports a single Living Hope network (including a donor-advised vehicle), international relief work in Haiti, and well-known evangelical relief/teaching ministries. Grants are sizable and few, indicating a targeted, mission-driven portfolio rather than broad community philanthropy.
Concentrated giving: few large unrestricted/general-use grants, with repeated multi-year support to the same faith-based organizations and a strong emphasis on a small set of preferred grantees.
Deus Spes Mea Foundation Inc. gives in a highly targeted way, with large general-use grants flowing to a small set of evangelical Christian and humanitarian organizations. The biggest recent award in the data is $930,000 to the Living Hope Doner Advised Account Schwab Charitable in Orlando, followed by repeated six-figure support for Living Hope Haiti Christian Mission in Miami and Samaritan's Purse in Boone, North Carolina. That pattern points to a foundation built around mission work, relief efforts, and faith-based ministry infrastructure rather than broad community philanthropy. The grant list also shows sustained support for Bible teaching, discipleship, and church-based operations. Walk Thru the Bible Ministries in Peachtree Corners, Georgia appears across multiple years, as do grants to World Missions Today in Orlando, Harborside Christian Church in Safety Harbor, and Dallas Bible Church in Dallas. Several awards are made at $200,000 or more, and many are designated for general use, suggesting the foundation prefers flexible funding for organizations it already knows and supports. Its portfolio is concentrated, recurring, and closely aligned with evangelical Christian work and international humanitarian relief.
A large part of the foundation’s giving supports the Living Hope network. In 2025, it granted $930,000 to the Living Hope Doner Advised Account Schwab Charitable in Orlando for general use, and it also gave $400,000 in 2024 and $250,000 in 2025 to Living Hope Haiti Christian Mission in Miami. Evangelical relief organizations are another clear theme. The foundation awarded $455,000 in 2025 to Samaritan's Purse in Boone, North Carolina, after giving $350,000 in 2024 and $300,000 in 2023. Bible teaching and discipleship also appear repeatedly. Walk Thru the Bible Ministries received $325,000 in 2025, $200,000 in 2024, and $200,000 in 2023, all for general use. World Missions Today in Orlando and Wycliffe Bible Translators in Orlando also received support.
Typical grants are substantial: the reported distribution is $25,000 at the 25th percentile, $50,000 at the median, and $125,000 at the 75th percentile. The recent-gifts table shows a portfolio dominated by larger general-use awards, with many gifts at $150,000 to $400,000 and a few much larger outliers. Recurrence is a strong feature: several recipients appear in multiple years, including Living Hope Haiti Christian Mission, Samaritan's Purse, Walk Thru the Bible Ministries, World Missions Today, Harborside Christian Church, The Salvation Army, and Dallas Bible Church. The foundation does not fund individuals and is not making program-related investments, indicating grantmaking rather than investment-style support.

Giving is regional and heavily U.S.-based, with 100% of grants in the United States. Florida is the top state by grant count, accounting for 43% of grants, but the recipient cities are spread across several hubs. Orlando appears repeatedly through the Living Hope donor-advised account and World Missions Today; Miami shows up with Living Hope Haiti Christian Mission; and other Florida recipients include Ocala, Safety Harbor, Clearwater, and Tampa-area organizations. Outside Florida, the foundation also gives to Boone, North Carolina, Peachtree Corners, Georgia, Dallas, Texas, Greenville, South Carolina, and other U.S. cities.
Its recent grants are centered on evangelical Christian ministries, Bible teaching and discipleship groups, church-based organizations, and humanitarian relief work. The data also shows support for international relief efforts linked to Haiti, mostly through general-use grants to established ministries.
The reported grant-size distribution is $25,000 at the 25th percentile, $50,000 at the median, and $125,000 at the 75th percentile. Recent gifts often run much larger than that, with multiple awards in the $150,000 to $400,000 range and a few above $700,000.
Yes. Several organizations appear in multiple years, including Samaritan's Purse, Walk Thru the Bible Ministries, World Missions Today, Harborside Christian Church, The Salvation Army, Dallas Bible Church, and Living Hope Haiti Christian Mission. That pattern suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-time awards.
Florida is the top state by grant count, with 43% of grants going to recipients in the state. Recipient cities in Florida include Orlando, Miami, Ocala, Safety Harbor, and Clearwater, but the foundation also supports organizations in other U.S. states.
No. The foundation’s profile shows that it does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments, so its support is delivered through grants rather than direct individual aid or PRI structures.
