About Place of Hope
Place of Hope Inc directs most of its grantmaking to related organizations that sit alongside its own service model in Palm Beach Gardens. The largest recent grant on file was $16,319,961 in 2024 to Place of Hope Foundation Inc for support related organization, followed by a $1,450,000 grant in 2025 to Place of Hope Foundation for the same purpose. Those awards show a pattern of backing internal or affiliate entities rather than outside grant recipients. The foundation’s stated mission centers on providing a stable and loving environment for children, youth, and families in crisis, with work tied to child welfare, foster care, adoption, maternity care, youth homelessness, human trafficking prevention and intervention, education and enrichment, mental health and wellness, transitional housing, food insecurity reduction, and policy advocacy. Recent grants also include support for Treasures for Hope Inc and Village of Hope of Palm Beach County Inc, both in Palm Beach Gardens, reinforcing the organization’s closely linked structure. Its latest 990 is on file for 2025, and its annual grants given total $20,268,778.
What Place of Hope Funds
The foundation’s funding is closely aligned with core operations and organizational sustainability. In 2024, it gave $1,239,156 to Treasures for Hope Inc for support related organization, and in 2025 it granted $107,330 to Treasures for Hope for the same purpose. A second clear theme is support for place-based affiliates. The 2025 grant of $566,090 to Village of Hope of Palm Beach Count was followed by a 2024 grant of $296,183 to Village of Hope of Palm Beach County Inc, both described as support related organization. The grant list also includes direct general support outside the affiliate network, such as $80,600 to Hands and Feet Inc in West Palm Beach and $14,750 to New Creation Missionary Baptist Church in West Palm Beach. These awards indicate some broader local support alongside the foundation’s internal funding pattern.
