Soup Kitchens
Who can apply: Local churches and volunteers operating soup kitchens in war-affected communities.
HART is dedicated to alleviating poverty and injustice in Eastern Europe by working alongside local Christian churches—providing them resources and tools to build a better world for themselves, their communities and their countries, and to advance the gospel while serving the most vulnerable.
Help From the Hart Charity’s recent giving is defined by a repeated $100,000 commitment to the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation in both 2024 and 2025, paired with another $100,000 grant in 2025 to Imagine Los Angeles Inc. That pattern shows a funder willing to make large, targeted awards rather than spread support thinly across many recipients. The foundation’s public grant list also includes smaller awards to organizations working on mental health access, family poverty, menstrual hygiene, and specialized health and family support. The charity’s approach is highly focused on named community needs. Its recent grants include support for destigmatizing mental health within the Black community, ending family poverty and homelessness, and expanding access to menstrual hygiene products for girls in developing countries. It also backed organizations addressing Dravet syndrome, autism and developmental delays, and families impacted by Parkinson’s disease. Across those grants, the foundation appears to favor direct program support for organizations already working with specific populations and service models.
Mental health and family stability are visible through two of the largest grants in the data. In 2025, Help From the Hart Charity gave $100,000 to the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation to destigmatize mental health within the Black community and enhance accessibility. It also gave $100,000 to Imagine Los Angeles Inc in 2025 to end the cycle of family poverty and homelessness. The foundation also supports health-related community services. In 2025, it gave $20,000 to Project Peace to bring sanitary wipes and menstrual hygiene products to girls in developing countries. Another $20,000 grant went to Taylen Lauren Horton Foundation Inc to bring awareness to, and raise funding for, Dravet syndrome research and support. Family-centered disability support appears as well. In 2024, Help From the Hart Charity gave $10,000 to Hollyrod Foundation to support families impacted by autism or Parkinson’s disease, and in 2025 it gave $10,000 to Jayces Journey Inc for early intervention services for children with autism and developmental delays.
Help From the Hart Charity’s typical grant size sits in a fairly narrow band: the 25th percentile is $32,500, the median is $55,000, and the 75th percentile is $77,500. The recent list shows a mix of larger flagship awards and smaller targeted grants, with $100,000, $20,000, and $10,000 awards all appearing. The grant record also shows recurrence: the Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation received $100,000 in both 2024 and 2025. The organization does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments.

The foundation’s giving is geographically concentrated. All listed grants in the recent sample went to recipients in the US, and every grant landed in California. Recipient cities include Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Studio City, Calabasas, Van Nuys, and Malibu. The top state by grant count is California, matching the 100% share of grants going to recipients in the HQ state. This points to a local grantmaking pattern rather than a multi-state or international distribution in the recent data.
Recent grants show support for organizations working on mental health access, family poverty and homelessness, menstrual hygiene products for girls in developing countries, Dravet syndrome research and support, autism and developmental delays, and Parkinson’s disease family support. The foundation also lists active programs in community development, relief and refugee aid, education scholarships, anti-trafficking, missions, and child sponsorship.
The grant-size distribution is centered in the tens of thousands: the 25th percentile is $32,500, the median is $55,000, and the 75th percentile is $77,500. In the recent grants list, awards range from $10,000 to $100,000.
Yes. The Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation received $100,000 in 2024 and another $100,000 in 2025. That repeated award suggests at least some multi-year support rather than one-time-only giving.
In the recent grants list, every recipient is in California, and all listed grants are in the US. Recipient cities include Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Studio City, Calabasas, and Van Nuys.
The active grant programs listed for the foundation all say they do not accept unsolicited applications. The programs operate through local church partners and structured program channels.
