The mission of Threshold of Hope, Inc. is to feed, shelter, clothe, and provide for the basic needs of those in need. Founded in 2005, Threshold of Hope was born out of a deep awareness of the desperate needs faced by people around the world—and right here in the United States. Our goal is not only to meet physical needs but also to offer something just as vital: hope.
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.
Hunger relief is a clear throughline. Threshold of Hope Inc C/o Kathleen Pozniak gave $13,000 in 2025 to Ozark Food Harvest, and the recurring support points to food access as a durable priority. Shelter and homelessness services are another major area: the foundation awarded $15,000 in 2025 to Boston Rescue Mission and $15,000 in 2025 to Welcome Home - Homeless Veterans. Family and maternity support also appears in the recent grants, including $15,000 in 2025 to Catholic Charities of Southeastern Missouri - Life Crisis Maternity Home. Children’s services extend beyond Missouri as well, with $25,000 in 2025 to the Moroccan League for the Protection of Children.
Typical awards are clustered around a narrow middle range: p25 is $5,000, median is $10,000, and p75 is $10,000. Recent grants show repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Convoy of Hope, The Gathering Tree, Boston Rescue Mission, Ozark Food Harvest, St Francis House, and Welcome Home - Homeless Veterans. The foundation gives through general charitable grantmaking rather than program-related investments, and it accepts unsolicited requests through its general charitable donations program. Its grantmaking is direct-service oriented and focused on nonprofit organizations rather than individuals.
