4KIDS’ His Caring Place, $50,832
“Safe Rides for Moms and Babies”
Every baby deserves a safe ride, and every young mother deserves the chance to thrive. 4KIDS’ His Caring Place offers housing, counseling, and life-skills support for women navigating crisis pregnancies and early motherhood. With only one van serving all residents, coordinating rides to appointments, parenting classes, and care has become an ongoing challenge. This grant will fund a second Toyota Sienna—fully equipped with car seats and essentials—to lighten that load, freeing both staff and moms to focus less on logistics and more on healing, learning, and hope.

AWANA, $60,000
“Planting Seeds of Faith in the Next Generation”
Each week around the world, local churches come alive with laughter, games, and connection as children gather for Awana. With this grant, Awana will launch 20 new Spanish-speaking programs across South Florida, reaching more than 1,000 Latino children ages 2–18. Many will come because a friend invited them or they saw other kids having fun at their neighborhood church, but what they’ll find is so much more. They’ll hear about Jesus in their own language—many for the first time—as they build lasting friendships and learn God’s Word through fun, faith-filled activities. It’s a neighborhood outreach that feels like vacation Bible school every week, where joy and belonging open the door to lifelong faith.

The Caring Place (Broward Outreach Centers), $129,396.86
“A Place To Begin Again for the Homeless”
When storms roll in, most of us can take shelter and wait it out. But for the hundreds of men, women, and children served by The Caring Place, every drop of rain means something far more serious — a total shutdown. Each time it rains, all programs, services, and shelter operations must stop, displacing everyone and halting the care they rely on. This grant will fund critical facility updates at their Hollywood campus, including the installation of impact windows, allowing The Caring Place to continue serving without interruption & providing a safeguard of dignity, stability, and hope for South Florida’s most vulnerable.

HOPE South Florida, $50,000
“Restoring Dignity Through Transportation”
A broken taillight. A parking ticket. A suspended license. For homeless families living in their cars, one small thing can set off a chain reaction leading to loss of jobs, stability, or even custody. HOPE South Florida is working to stop that cycle before it starts. While their new Safe Overnight Parking program (already in motion) will offer months of safe shelter and support, this grant will help them provide transportation assistance & stability so families can move forward—together. What looks like a simple ride is really a lifeline, breaking cycles of crisis and restoring dignity, stability, & hope. 

Love INC of Broward, $15,000
“Raising Up Servant Leaders”
At the heart of Love INC’s mission is connection—linking families & individuals in need with life-giving resources and local churches. Their Connect Center pairs caring coaches with community members seeking help, offering prayer, encouragement, and guidance to local resources, plus up to three follow-up calls for ongoing support. This grant will strengthen that program while launching the Servant Leadership Academy, a hands-on experience equipping Gen Z participants to serve others and grow into who God created them to be. Through teaching and service projects, young leaders will develop emotional awareness, conflict-resolution skills, and confidence as they bring compassion to life across Broward County.

Relate Well Live Well, $46,482
“Equipping Parents, Transforming Families”
Broken relationships and disconnected homes affect families for generations—but Relate Well Live Well is changing that story. With this grant, they will develop the Parent Well Curriculum, a skills-based program designed to strengthen parent-child relationships, foster emotional understanding, and build healthy self-esteem in children. Whether families are single-parent, blended, or traditional, this curriculum offers practical tools rooted in grace to help parents connect, communicate, and lead their families well. By investing in parents, we are strengthening the next generation and reflecting Christ’s love in the very place it matters most: the family.

Watermark Gospel, $36,764
“Bringing Women of the Bible to Life”
The stories of women in Scripture still speak life and hope today—but too often, they go overlooked. After receiving a seed grant last year, Watermark Gospel is requesting the resources to complete their two new animated videos on Hannah and the woman caught in adultery, expanding their growing series that already brings Esther and Mary of Bethany to life. These beautifully crafted teaching resources reveal the grace of Jesus woven through every story and are shared with millions across South Florida and beyond. By sharing these powerful stories in churches, homes, and communities, each video helps women see that God hears their prayers, redeems their brokenness, and calls them His own.
