2 THE ONE FOUNDATION concentrates almost all of its giving in very large, unrestricted awards to a single external nonprofit — Fundación Regino Palazuelos AC — suggesting a targeted, relationship-driven philanthropy likely focused on supporting that organization's mission and operations. Grants are designated for general purpose/charitable operations rather than specific program line-items, indicating a preference for flexible, core support. The grantee appears to be based outside the U.S., so the foundation’s philanthropic interest includes international or Mexico-focused giving through a trusted partner.
Highly concentrated: very few, large grants almost entirely to a single repeat grantee; emphasis on general-purpose/operational support rather than diverse or program-specific funding.
2 the One Foundation’s recent giving is dominated by large, flexible support for Fundación Regino Palazuelos AC in Benjamin Hill, including a $484,224 grant in 2025 and a $266,633 grant in 2024. That pattern points to a funder that uses substantial unrestricted awards to sustain a small set of nonprofit partners rather than spreading grants widely. The foundation’s grants are described as general purpose, general support, and charitable operations, which suggests an emphasis on core capacity rather than project-specific line items. Alongside that principal relationship, the foundation has also made smaller general-support grants to 1mission in Phoenix and I’m Still Standing in Los Angeles, showing that its portfolio includes U.S.-based nonprofit organizations as well as international partners. Crisis Aid International in St. Louis appears among the recent grants as well. The foundation’s grantmaking profile is shaped by recurring support over multiple years, with one recipient appearing in 2023, 2024, and 2025. That makes the pattern unusually clear: a concentrated set of awards, mostly aimed at operating stability and charitable use.
A central theme in 2 the One Foundation’s work is organizational capacity and sustainability. In 2024, it gave $266,633 to Fuancion Regino Paluelos Ac in Benjamin Hill for charitable operations, and in 2025 it followed with a $484,224 general-purpose grant to the same recipient. Those awards show a preference for flexible funding that can support the recipient’s ongoing work. The foundation also makes general-support grants to U.S. nonprofits. In 2023, it awarded $10,000 to 1mission in Phoenix for general support, and it made a $5,000 general-support grant to Crisis Aid International in St. Louis that same year. A third thread is support for charitable activity across borders. The recent grants include multiple awards to a Mexico-based organization and additional grants to U.S. organizations in Arizona, California, and Missouri, indicating that the foundation’s giving is tied more to partner relationships and charitable operations than to a single local service area.
2 the One Foundation’s typical grant size is measured in the tens of thousands, with p25 at $8,750, median at $58,556, and p75 at $146,993. The recent record also includes much larger awards, including a $484,224 grant and a $266,633 grant, which pulls the portfolio toward a small number of high-value relationships. The grants list shows the same recipient appearing across 2023, 2024, and 2025, so this is not a one-time pattern. The foundation is classified as a regular funder and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The grants shown are all general purpose, general support, or charitable operations, indicating flexible support rather than restricted project funding.
