To bring Faith, Hope and Love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need.
The largest recent grants point to a foundation built around anti-human trafficking and child exploitation work. Tim Tebow Foundation Inc gave $3,500,000 to Her Song Jacksonville in 2025 and $2,227,837 to Operation Light Shine that same year, with similar support repeated in prior years. That pattern sits alongside other large awards to child protection groups, adoption aid organizations, and programs for children with profound medical needs or special needs. Across its recent grant list, the foundation appears to back direct service and program delivery rather than broad, general-purpose philanthropy. Its portfolio also includes sustained support for adoption and orphan care. Show Hope received multiple grants across 2023, 2024, and 2025, while Lifesong for Orphans appears in both adoption aid and orphan care and prevention. Medical care is another visible lane: Tebow CURE Hospital is listed as an active initiative, and recent grants include support for children facing profound medical needs. The foundation’s stated purpose is to bring faith, hope and love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need, and its grant record reflects that emphasis through recurring support for vulnerable children, survivors, and families.
Anti-human trafficking is the clearest cause area in the recent grant list. Tim Tebow Foundation Inc gave $750,000 to National Child Protection Task Force in 2025 and $448,887 to International Centre for Missing and Exploited Children the same year, with both awards tied to child protection and exploitation prevention. They also supported Lantern Foundation with $568,575 in 2025 and Child Rescue Coalition with $475,000 that year. Adoption assistance and orphan care are another consistent theme. Show Hope received $360,000 in 2025 for Adoption Aid, and Lifesong for Orphans received $195,000 in 2025 for Adoption Aid and Orphan Care & Prevention. For disability-inclusive community programming, the foundation funded Shine On grants such as $30,000 to Guidelight and $21,000 to Deaf Millennial Project, showing support for participation and inclusion-focused experiences.
Typical awards are modest relative to the foundation’s largest grants: the reported p25, median, and p75 are $6,500, $6,500, and $11,625. At the same time, recent grantmaking also includes seven-figure awards, so the distribution is highly skewed toward a few large program grants. The grant list shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including Her Song Jacksonville, Operation Light Shine, Show Hope, and Lifesong for Orphans. Tim Tebow Foundation Inc is structured as a foundation with program-related investments and a national grantmaking scope. The active giving channels shown include several named programs that accept unsolicited support, and the foundation also funds direct initiatives tied to its own program areas.
