About Threshold of Hope Inc C/O Kathleen Pozniak
Threshold of Hope Inc C/o Kathleen Pozniak centers grantmaking on basic human needs: feeding, sheltering, clothing, and other short-term support for people in crisis. The pattern is visible in repeated grants marked “PROVIDE FOR THE NEEDY,” including $25,000 in 2025 to Convoy of Hope and $25,000 in 2025 to the Moroccan League for the Protection of Children. Those gifts sit alongside a broad set of direct-service nonprofits working in hunger relief, shelter, maternity crisis care, and veteran support. The foundation’s mission statement ties its giving to immediate needs rather than long-term program building, and its recent awards show that approach across both local and international recipients. In Springfield, the foundation has backed organizations such as The Gathering Tree, Catholic Charities of Southern Missouri, and Ozark Food Harvest, while also supporting groups in Boston, Chicago, and elsewhere. Its recent grant history suggests a consistent emphasis on practical assistance for low-income individuals, homeless populations, families in crisis, and vulnerable children.
