The Manny and Mila Teixeira Family Foundation focuses its philanthropy on addressing local food insecurity, primarily supporting a single community food bank. Their donations are directed toward operational or donation support for hunger-relief efforts in their region. The foundation appears to prioritize a concentrated, practical approach rather than broad or diversified giving.
Highly concentrated: few, relatively large grants to a single repeat grantee; focused, local support rather than diversified funding across multiple organizations.
Manny and Mila Teixeira Family Foundation Inc concentrates its giving on a small set of New Jersey-based organizations, with the largest recent grants going to Comm Food Bank and several repeated donations to parish and service institutions in Newark, Summit, Elizabeth, and Mountainside. That pattern points to a foundation that funds direct local response rather than a broad mix of programs. The grant list shows support for food distribution, church-based aid, counseling, retreat houses, and other community services, usually through donation-style grants. One clear thread is repeat support for the same community food bank across multiple years, including $85,000 in 2025 and $60,000 in 2024. Another is steady backing for faith-linked and neighborhood institutions serving nearby residents, such as Our Lady of Fatima Church, Our Lady of Lourdes, and St. Teresa Church. The foundation’s grants are almost entirely within New Jersey, and the recipient names suggest a tightly local network of organizations serving households facing basic-needs strain.
Local hunger relief is the foundation’s strongest theme. In 2025 it gave $85,000 to Comm Food Bank in Hillside for donation support, following a $60,000 gift in 2024 and a $35,000 gift in 2023. That repeated funding suggests an emphasis on food bank capacity and emergency distribution. The foundation also supports faith-based community institutions. It gave $45,000 to Our Lady of Fatima Church in Newark in 2024, along with $30,000 in both 2023 and 2025, and $35,000 in 2024 plus $25,000 in 2025 to Our Lady of Lourdes in Mountainside. A third cluster is direct community aid and services in Newark and nearby towns. Grants include $30,000 to City Relief of Newark in 2025 and $25,000 to St Josephs Social Service Center in Elizabeth in 2023, showing a practical focus on neighborhood-based service providers.
The typical grant size is concentrated: p25 is $10,000, median is $25,000, and p75 is $25,000, which indicates many awards cluster at the same level. The recent record also shows repeat support to the same recipients across multiple years, especially within New Jersey. The foundation appears to operate as a family foundation, and its grants are recorded as donation-style support rather than program-related investments. No application process is shown in the provided data.

Its grant-size distribution is tightly clustered. The p25 is $10,000, the median is $25,000, and the p75 is also $25,000, so many awards are made at the $25,000 level.
