The 2222 Foundation is a Christian faith-centered funder that concentrates its giving on child welfare, explicitly faith-based education, and evangelistic/missionary media and relief efforts. A small number of repeat grantees receive the majority of dollars (notably a large children’s home), while many other grants support regional Christian schools, Anabaptist financial/community development initiatives, and international missionary partners. Grants are a mix of a few large, multi-grant commitments and many modest program-level awards, often to organizations with clear evangelical or Anabaptist identities.
A defining feature of 2222 Foundation is its concentrated support for Shining Light Children's Home, which received several of the foundation’s largest recent grants, including $242,000 in 2023 and $115,000 in 2025. That repeated commitment sits alongside a broader Christian giving pattern that includes child welfare, faith-based education, and evangelistic media. The foundation’s recent awards also show sustained support for Anabaptist financial and educational work, with grants to Anabaptist Savings and Loans and Anabaptist Perspectives, plus recurring gifts to Christian schools and ministry partners. The giving profile is shaped by a mix of sizable multi-year commitments and many smaller program grants. Some recipients appear more than once across different years, including Shining Light Children’s Home, Anabaptist Savings and Loans, Kingdom Matters Organization Inc, Osceola Christian Fellowship, Bridgepoint Intl Ministries, and Gospel Express Texas. Alongside these repeat awards, the foundation funds a wider circle of Christian ministries, camps, schools, and international partners, with amounts often clustered in the mid-five-figure and low-five-figure range.
In child welfare and care for vulnerable children, 2222 Foundation gave $75,500 in 2024 to Shining Light Children's Home, following a $242,000 grant in 2023 and a $115,000 grant in 2025. That repeated support makes children's residential care one of the clearest threads in the foundation’s record. Their faith-based education support includes $50,000 to Central Miami Christian Academy in 2024 and $10,000 to Shenandoah Christian Music Camp in 2024, followed by another $10,000 in 2025. The foundation also funds Anabaptist-oriented infrastructure and thought work, including $100,000 to Anabaptist Savings and Loans in 2024 and $12,000 to Anabaptist Perspectives in 2025. Evangelistic and Scripture-distribution efforts also appear in the recent grants, such as $10,000 to Jesus Film Project in 2024 and $10,000 to Faith Comes by Hearing in 2024.
Typical grants cluster around a median of $17,000, with the lower quartile at $10,000 and the upper quartile at $27,250. The pattern mixes repeated awards to the same organizations with one-off gifts to a wider set of ministries. Several recipients appear in multiple years, including Shining Light Children's Home, Anabaptist Savings and Loans, Kingdom Matters Organization Inc, Osceola Christian Fellowship, Bridgepoint Intl Ministries, and Gospel Express Texas. 2222 Foundation is a private foundation led by Cornelius Yoder, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.

Concentrated faith-based portfolio: one or two anchor recipients receive large, repeat gifts while the rest of the portfolio is distributed among many smaller, mission-aligned evangelical and Anabaptist organizations. Grants tend to be program-support or operational, often repeated across years, and split between domestic Christian education/child welfare and international missions/media.
