Core Causes We Care About
Extreme Poverty
We support organizations working to break the cycle of extreme poverty through practical help, sustainable development, and long term opportunity. By investing in initiatives that provide food, education, job training, and economic empowerment, we help communities move toward stability, dignity, and hope.
Clean Water
Access to clean water changes everything. The Luminate Foundation partners with organizations that build wells, water systems, and sanitation solutions so families and communities can thrive. Clean water improves health, restores time for education and work, and creates a foundation for lasting transformation.
Homelessness
Everyone deserves a safe place to call home. We support nonprofits working to provide shelter, resources, and pathways to stability for individuals and families experiencing homelessness. These efforts restore dignity, offer practical support, and help people rebuild their lives.
Exposing Injustice
Injustice often hides in the shadows. We support organizations that bring truth to light and make it visible, advocating for those whose voices are often unheard. Through awareness, legal support, and advocacy, these efforts work to expose wrongdoing and pursue justice with compassion and courage.
Prison Reform
True transformation is possible for every life. We champion the wrongfully accused, reject the death penalty, and support initiatives that provide mentorship and guidance to those impacted by incarceration in support of redemption, forgiveness, and true reform.
Spreading the Gospel
At the heart of our mission is the desire for people everywhere to know the love and hope found in Jesus Christ. We support ministries that share the Gospel through church planting, discipleship, outreach, and global missions so more people can encounter the life changing message of Christ.
Innovation
Creative ideas can unlock new solutions to complex challenges. We invest in innovative initiatives that bring fresh thinking, technology, and new approaches to ministry and nonprofit work. These efforts help expand impact and create new pathways for meaningful change.
Protecting the Vulnerable
We support organizations dedicated to caring for those most at risk, including children, survivors of trafficking, immigrants, refugees, and others facing exploitation, racism, or neglect. Through advocacy and protection, safety and dignity remain possible.

Hop on the back of a rickshaw with us in Southeast Asia, share a cup of hot chai with us in India, join a community of kids around the bonfire in rural Africa, and weave baskets on the ground of a mud hut in South America. No matter where we go or who we meet, there is one common desire and need for all: love and light.
