About Hearts to Homes Furnishings

Hearts to Homes Furnishings Inc. centers its grantmaking on one practical transition point: young adults aging out of foster care moving into independent living. The foundation’s support is built around furnishing first apartments and providing essential household items, with referral-based programs that connect recipients through child-welfare and family-service agencies. That operating model makes the funder different from a general human-services grantmaker; the grants are tied to identifying young adults in need and getting furnishings directly into homes. Recent awards show a steady relationship with family services agencies that help locate and support eligible clients. Catholic Guardian Services received $41,798 in 2024 and $40,482 in 2025, while Lutheran Social Services of NY received $38,495 in 2024. Other recurring partners include Jcca, Good Shephard Services, and The Children's Village, each appearing across multiple years. The picture that emerges is a localized, service-delivery funder focused on concrete household setup rather than broad program grants. The foundation’s programs also extend to young parents and infants within the foster-care transition pathway, with packages that can include kitchen and bath basics or fuller apartment furnishings. Its leadership is listed as Mary Theresa McCombe, and the latest 990 on file is 2025.

What Hearts to Homes Furnishings Funds

A central theme in Hearts to Homes Furnishings Inc.’s grantmaking is referral-based transition support. In 2025, it gave $40,482 to Catholic Guardian Services and $38,369 to Jcca, both described as family services agencies that identify young adults in need. Those relationships show how the foundation reaches foster youth through intermediaries rather than direct public intake. Housing stability is another clear focus. The foundation’s furnishing assistance for young adults aging out of foster care covers first apartments, virtual housewarmings, and essential household goods. Grants to The Children's Village, such as $31,488 in 2025 and $28,181 in 2023, fit that housing-transition purpose. The foundation also supports broader youth transition work through agencies such as Family & Children's Association, which received $33,278 in 2025 and $17,132 in 2024. Across these grants, the emphasis remains on practical items and direct services that help young adults move into independent living.
