Ty 2 Foundation Inc concentrates its giving on direct social-service organizations and charitable relief, with the majority of funds directed to a small number of repeat grantees. The foundation appears to favor programs serving vulnerable populations (including Hispanic/immigrant youth) and faith‑oriented or mission-driven relief work. Its grants are relatively large and targeted rather than widely dispersed across many small recipients.
Ty 2 Foundation Inc shows a clear preference for repeat, high-trust support to a small circle of organizations working in social services, youth development, humanitarian relief, and faith-based ministry. Across recent grants, Jovenes En Camino appears as one of the largest recurring recipients, with awards of $95,000 in 2024 and $90,000 in 2025, alongside earlier support of $50,000 in 2023. Another repeated recipient, Both Hands Foundation, received $50,000 in both 2023 and 2024, indicating a pattern of sustained backing rather than one-off awards. The foundation also funds mission-driven groups that sit at the intersection of direct aid and community support, including Mission Lazarus, Nations Ministry Center, and Healing Hands International. Its recent grant history suggests a focused portfolio rather than a broad spread of many small grants, with emphasis on organizations that deliver services directly to vulnerable populations. The grants are often substantial enough to function as meaningful operating support or program support for local nonprofits and ministries. That mix of repeat awards, service delivery, and relief work defines the foundation’s giving profile.
A major theme in Ty 2 Foundation Inc’s giving is support for Hispanic and immigrant youth services. Jovenes En Camino received $95,000 in 2024 and $90,000 in 2025, and the foundation also gave $50,000 in 2023 to the same organization. Youth and community development show up in other grants as well: Franktown Open Hearts Ministry received $10,000 in 2025 for community and youth development funding. Health and medical support is another clear thread. Health Talents International received $10,000 in 2025 for medical service funding, following earlier grants of $10,000 in 2023 and $10,000 in 2024. The foundation also backs direct social-service work through Mana Nutrition, which received $25,000 in 2025 for social service funding. Faith-based relief and ministry are present too, with Samaritan's Purse receiving $25,000 in 2025 for humanitarian aid funding.
Typical awards cluster around a modest but meaningful midpoint: the p25 is $5,000, the median is $10,000, and the p75 is $15,000. The recent record also shows larger targeted grants at $25,000, $50,000, and up to $95,000, but most awards sit near the $10,000 level. The grant history points to repeat funding rather than isolated gifts: Jovenes En Camino, Both Hands Foundation, Mission Lazarus, Nations Ministry Center, Healing Hands International, Health Talents International, and Men of Valor all appear in multiple years. Ty 2 Foundation Inc does not fund individuals and does not make program-related investments. Its active grant program is General Grantmaking, and that program is tied to type 2 diabetes prevention, research, education, and community-based initiatives, though the recent grants show a wider social-service and relief pattern as well.
