DLP Positive Returns Foundation concentrates its giving on faith-based charitable work and a small number of large recipients, with additional support for higher education and mission-oriented programs. The foundation frequently routes significant gifts through religious philanthropic intermediaries and directly to evangelical-oriented nonprofits and local/state institutions. Grants are few but sizable, and several recipients receive repeat support, suggesting a relationship-driven, targeted approach rather than broad-catalog philanthropy.
A single $263,072 general charitable grant in 2023 sits at the center of Dlp Postive Returns Foundation’s recent record, and it signals a pattern of making a small number of substantial awards rather than many small ones. The foundation’s giving is closely tied to faith-based work, with repeated support for evangelical ministries and Christian philanthropic intermediaries, alongside selective gifts to higher education and local community groups. In the recent grants list, Tim Tebow Foundation in Jacksonville received $100,000 in 2024 and another $100,000 in 2026, showing repeat support across years. National Christian Foundation also appears more than once, including $92,164 in 2024 and $48,294 in 2026, which points to an ongoing relationship with a donor-advised or intermediary structure. Other sizable awards went to Equip Leadership in Duluth, Georgia, and Transforming Futures in Ada, Michigan, reflecting a mix of ministry, mission, and charitable programming. The foundation also made direct gifts to Florida-based organizations, including University of Florida Foundation Inc., Alpha-omega Miracle Home Inc, and St John Housing Partnership.
Faith-based work is the clearest thread in the foundation’s recent grants. Dlp Postive Returns Foundation gave $100,000 to Tim Tebow Foundation in 2026 and also supported National Christian Foundation in 2024 and 2026, indicating continued attention to Christian philanthropic channels. Higher education also appears in the record. The foundation gave $100,000 to University of Florida Foundation Inc in 2026 after making a matching $100,000 grant in 2024, showing repeated support for the same institutional recipient. Mission-oriented and international Christian programming shows up through Transforming Futures, which received $66,800 in 2024 for mission trip support and $70,953 in 2026 as a charitable grant. Community welfare and local service are present as well, including a $11,300 Shop With a Cop grant to Starke Police Department in 2024.
Typical grants cluster around a mid-five-figure middle, with p25 at $9,400, median at $25,000, and p75 at $79,482. The recent record includes both very large awards and smaller community grants, which suggests a layered approach rather than a single grant size. The pattern also looks relationship-driven: several recipients appear in multiple years, including repeated support for University of Florida Foundation Inc, Tim Tebow Foundation, Transforming Futures, National Christian Foundation, and Alpha-omega Miracle Home Inc. The foundation does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.
