Make A Difference Inc directs most of its funding to local faith-based organizations, prioritizing capital needs for churches and support services tied to religious ministries. The foundation backs pregnancy support centers and programs for single mothers, alongside substantial one-off facility acquisition grants that indicate a focus on building or securing physical church infrastructure. Its giving appears locally concentrated and mission-driven toward faith-centered social services.
A single property purchase dominates Make A Difference Inc’s recent giving: $307,600 in 2025 went to World’s Church of the Living God in Dade City for facilities acquisition. That large capital grant helps define the funder’s pattern, which centers on churches, faith-based ministries, and nearby community support groups in Pasco County and the Dade City area. The foundation also backed Solo Moms Recovery Healing Church in Tampa with a $49,900 facilities acquisition grant in 2025, showing that building and securing ministry space is a recurring part of its approach. Alongside those larger awards, the foundation has made smaller general-support grants to local ministries and community organizations, including Oasis Pregnancy Care Centers in Dade City, Emmanuel Always in Zephyrhills, and Loving Hands Ministries in Palmetto. Its recent portfolio includes support for recovery, pregnancy care, and church-based charitable work, all within Florida. The pattern points to a funder that uses a mix of major capital grants and smaller unrestricted gifts to strengthen religiously affiliated organizations and adjacent social-service efforts.
Facilities acquisition is the clearest theme in the record. In 2025, Make A Difference Inc gave $307,600 to World’s Church of the Living God for facilities acquisition and $49,900 to Solo Moms Recovery Healing Church for the same purpose. Those grants show direct support for physical space tied to ministry work. The foundation also supports pregnancy and family-related services. It gave Oasis Pregnancy Care Centers $10,400 in 2023 and $9,600 in 2024 for general support of charitable programs. In local faith-community support, smaller gifts went to Emmanuel Always in Zephyrhills for general support and to Love One Another in Dade City for general support in multiple years. Public-safety and civic support also appear in the record. Make A Difference Inc gave Dade City Police Foundation Inc several grants, with stated support for the Dade City police department.
Make A Difference Inc’s typical grants are small relative to its largest awards: the 25th percentile is $198, the median is $500, and the 75th percentile is $518. The record shows both recurring support and one-off capital awards. Oasis Pregnancy Care Centers received grants in 2023 and 2024, Love One Another appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Dade City Police Foundation Inc appears in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation funds organizations rather than individuals and makes no program-related investments. It also accepts unsolicited requests for its Shoes 4 Schools program and its Pasco County Fair Grounds Mobile Food Pantry program.
