The Andrews MTA Family Foundation concentrates its giving on a very small number of beneficiaries, with large, repeated grants to international education and direct individual support. The largest recipient is Edify, receiving substantial directed funding for Guatemala education work, while the other primary recipient is an individual or small beneficiary (Saywala Karsor) receiving housing, living expense, and tuition support. Overall the foundation appears to prioritize hands-on, targeted aid rather than broad-based community philanthropy.
Highly concentrated giving: few, large repeat grants to the same recipients (three grants each), focused on targeted international education projects and individual support rather than many small, diversified grants.
Andrews MTA Family Foundation Inc directs a large share of its recent giving into a few highly specific relationships: a three-year funding stream to Edify for Guatemala-related work, and repeated personal support for Saywala Karsor covering housing, living expenses, and medical school tuition. Those two recipients account for the clearest pattern in the foundation’s recent record, showing a preference for concentrated, directed aid rather than broad distributed grantmaking. The foundation also makes smaller awards tied to basic needs and operational support, including help for indigent-family living expenses, tuition, and on-going support for a women’s shelter. The recipient list includes both organizations and individuals, which matches its stated ability to fund individuals. Recent grants range from five-figure directed donations to smaller under-threshold gifts, with several awards appearing in consecutive years to the same recipients. That repeated pattern suggests the foundation favors sustained commitments over one-time transactions when it chooses a beneficiary. Its recent giving reaches both U.S. charities and recipients outside the United States, with a regional footprint rather than a national one.
In international education, Andrews MTA Family Foundation Inc gave $133,000 to Edify in 2025, following $102,000 in 2024 and $100,000 in 2023, all described as directed donations tied to Guatemala. That three-year sequence stands out as the foundation’s clearest programmatic line. For direct individual assistance, the foundation gave $55,024 in 2025 to Saywala Karsor for housing, living expenses, and medical school tuition, after $35,911 in 2024 and $37,080 in 2023 for similar support. It also made smaller living-expense grants to Jacob Sumo in 2024 and 2025. On the charity side, the foundation supported Genesis Women’s Shelter in Dallas with $5,000 for on-going operational support, and gave $5,000 to Counting Stars for support to build an additional cabin. These grants show both operating support and asset-related help within the same giving profile.
Recent grants show a wide spread in size, with p25 at $3,483, a median of $5,000, and p75 at $41,566. That gap between the median and upper quartile reflects a mix of smaller support grants and a few much larger directed awards. The foundation’s record also shows repeat giving to the same beneficiaries across multiple years, especially in international education and individual assistance. It funds both organizations and individuals, and its grants include operating support, tuition, living expenses, and construction-related support. The pattern looks discretionary and relationship-driven rather than application-based.
