One In Heart Foundation is a faith-based funder that concentrates almost exclusively on supporting church-centered marriage counseling and family ministry programs. They make multi-grant commitments to local congregations and ministry organizations—primarily in the Austin/Hill Country area—focused on strengthening marriages and providing pastoral counseling services. The foundation’s giving emphasizes direct program support to churches and denominational ministries rather than broad social services or secular providers.
Concentrated, mission-focused giving: relatively few, moderately large grants with repeated multi-year or multiple disbursements to the same faith-based grantees rather than many small awards or a wide geographic spread.
One in Heart Foundation’s giving centers on marriage counseling ministry activities, and the pattern is highly repeatable across years and recipients. The foundation has made multi-year support to church and ministry groups that use counseling, pastoral care, and marriage enrichment as part of their programming. Sonlight Fellowship in South Bend received the largest recent award listed at $30,000 in 2023, followed by additional grants of $25,000 in 2024 and 2025 for the same purpose. Other recurring recipients include Hope Church in Jersey Village, Hill Country Bible Church in Austin, and Score International Inc in Chattanooga, each funded for marriage counseling ministry activities across multiple grant years. The grants show a foundation that funds directly into local congregational and ministry settings, with repeated commitments to organizations that can deliver faith-based counseling support to married couples and families. Its recent awards also include smaller grants to organizations such as The Leadership Exchange, Make It Clear, Chram Ministries, and Compassion Care Pregnancy Care, reinforcing a consistent program-specific approach rather than one-time, broad-based philanthropy.
The strongest theme in the recent grants is church-based marriage counseling. One in Heart Foundation gave $25,000 in 2025 to Zao Church in Spicewood, and $21,000 in 2025 to Hope Church in Jersey Village, both for support of marriage counseling ministry activities. A second cluster is congregational family ministry support: Hill Country Bible Church in Austin received $21,000 in 2025 and $20,300 in 2024 for the same purpose. The foundation also funds counseling-related ministry intermediaries. The Leadership Exchange in Raleigh received $20,000 in 2024 and $5,000 in 2025, while Make It Clear in Casselberry received $15,000 in 2023, $4,000 in 2024, and $3,000 in 2025. Smaller awards also went to Compassion Care Pregnancy Care in Plainview, showing support for ministries that connect counseling with family-focused services.
Typical grants cluster around a $10,000 median, with a p25 of $3,000 and a p75 of $20,000. The recent list shows repeated awards to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025, including Sonlight Fellowship, Hope Church, Hill Country Bible Church, Score International Inc, The Leadership Exchange, Make It Clear, Chram Ministries, and Compassion Care Pregnancy Care. That pattern suggests ongoing program support rather than isolated gifts. The foundation appears to operate as a private family foundation, with direct grants rather than program-related investments and no individual funding. Many awards are restricted to marriage counseling ministry activities, and one recent item is a passthrough contribution from K-1.
