Who We Are

Lionheart Projects, Inc. is a charitable nonprofit dedicated to supporting at-risk women and children facing crisis, instability, or hardship. We fund community organizations that deliver life-changing services — from emergency shelter to long-term empowerment.

Our Story

Lionheart Projects was founded on a simple truth: courage often shows up in the quietest moments. We exist to stand beside women and children facing crisis and to close the gaps in support, opportunity, and safety. Today, we partner with trusted organizations to ensure vulnerable families receive the care and pathways to stability they deserve.

How We Work

We identify and fund high-impact programs that address immediate needs and long-term solutions. We prioritize partners with strong leadership, measurable outcomes, and deep community roots.

Accountability

We maintain transparent financial practices, evaluate impact rigorously, and communicate openly with donors and partners.
