About Soles4souls

Soles4souls Inc centers its grantmaking on a simple material intervention: keeping usable shoes and clothing in circulation and moving them to people who need them. The recent record shows very large, repeated support to a handful of distribution partners, especially Convoy of Hope in Springfield, Missouri, which received the foundation’s single largest listed grant of $14,954,076 in 2025 and another $13,904,717 in 2024 for free distribution of shoes and clothing. Operation Compassion in Cleveland, Tennessee is another major recipient, with awards of $5,757,952 in 2024 and $1,230,656 in 2025 for the same purpose. That pattern points to a foundation built around in-kind material support rather than broad, open-ended philanthropy. The organization also reaches a mix of charities, schools, and community groups that distribute footwear and apparel directly to people they serve. Its stated work spans child access, disaster response, homelessness support, economic opportunity, and waste reduction through reuse, but the unifying thread is practical distribution of essentials. The scale of giving is substantial, with annual grants above $50 million in the latest filing year.

What Soles4souls Funds

In direct material aid, the foundation gives through organizations that distribute shoes and clothing to people in need. One example is Orphanetwork in Virginia Beach, Virginia, which received $710,532 in 2024 for free distribution of shoes and clothing. Another is The River Fund in Richmond Hill, New York, which received $510,964 in 2024 for the same purpose. Its school-facing work appears in grants to Broward County Public Schools in Hallandale Beach, Florida, and the School District of Lee County in Fort Meyers, Florida, both for free distribution of shoes and clothing. The foundation also supports community distribution groups such as White Pony Express in Pleasant Hill, California. Across these grants, the purpose text stays tightly tied to footwear and apparel access rather than unrestricted institutional support.

How Soles4souls Gives

Typical grant size is modest relative to the total grant budget, with a p25 of $8,420, median of $12,529, and p75 of $29,910. The recent list also shows a small number of very large awards, alongside many smaller distributions. Multiple recipients appear across years, including Convoy of Hope, Operation Compassion, The River Fund, Provision Ministry Inc, Roads of Success, Orphanetwork, and Women Supporting Women, indicating recurring relationships rather than one-off gifts. The foundation is a grantmaking nonprofit, not a program-related investment funder, and it does not fund individuals. Its active programs also show a mix of unsolicited request pathways and partner-facing collaboration models.
