Answer International exists to advance intentional, strategic, and relentless rescue, survivor protection, and long-term restoration efforts addressing the sexual exploitation and trafficking of children.
Answer International Foundation centers its giving on rescue, survivor protection, and long-term restoration for children affected by sexual exploitation and trafficking. That mission shows up in the size and repetition of its grants: the foundation has made a $400,000 award to Spark Worldwide for community assistance, and it has supported Maranatha Christian Mission in Arlington, Texas, in three consecutive years for pastor training. The pattern is not limited to anti-trafficking work alone. Its recent records also include poverty assistance for Reaching Children Through Love Inc in Del Rio, Texas, and community assistance for Kings Gate Ranch in Hallettsville, Texas, reflecting a mix of direct service and faith-based capacity building. The foundation’s leadership is tied to Troy Brewer, and its grantmaking is heavily Texas-focused, with most recipient organizations located in the state. Across the recent grants list, the foundation appears to favor organizations that combine practical support, community-based ministry, and targeted help for vulnerable people.
A clear anti-trafficking thread runs through the foundation’s work. In 2025, it gave $50,000 to Hawkwood Foundation Inc in Lewisville, Texas, for human trafficking. It also states a broader commitment to rescue, survivor protection, and long-term restoration for children facing sexual exploitation and trafficking. Beyond that core issue, the foundation supports poverty relief and basic needs: Reaching Children Through Love Inc in Del Rio, Texas, received $116,444 in 2024 and $11,400 in 2023 for poverty assistance. Faith-based leadership development is another recurring theme, shown by grants to Maranatha Christian Mission in Arlington, Texas, for training pastors. Community assistance appears across several awards, including support for churches, ranches, and neighborhood-serving groups.
Typical grant size sits at $11,500 at the 25th percentile, $22,400 at the median, and $116,444 at the 75th percentile, with a much larger $400,000 award at the top end of the recent list. The grant history shows repeat support to several recipients across multiple years, including Maranatha Christian Mission, Firm Family Church, Reaching Children Through Love Inc, and Milestone Ranch. That suggests an ongoing relationship model rather than purely one-time gifts. Answer International Foundation is a private foundation led by Troy Brewer. The available record does not indicate an open application process, and the recent grants are directed to organizations rather than individuals.
