2025 - 2026

Our Mission

To bring Faith, Hope and Love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need.

Fighting for the world’s Most Vulnerable People — the real MVPs.

THIS WORLD IS NOT A PLAYGROUND, IT’S A BATTLEGROUND.

A Letter from Tim

Dear TTF Family,

This year, that truth, inspired by a famous quote from the late Billy Graham, felt real. The fight wasn’t distant or theoretical—it was urgent, costly, and at times deeply hard. We came face-to-face with broken systems, unimaginable circumstances, and people in desperate need of Faith, Hope and Love.

And yet, through it all, we have seen something undeniable: God is moving.

When doors seemed closed, new pathways opened. When situations appeared beyond repair, lives began to change. This is not our doing—it is the faithfulness of our God. At the Tim Tebow Foundation, we exist to stand in the gap, to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves, to protect the vulnerable, and to bring light into some of the darkest places in the world. This mission is more than words; it is a calling we seek to live out through action and lasting impact.

I’m often reminded of the bigness of the mission we’re on through some of the seemingly smallest moments that reinforce why we do it all… for the one MVP. Recently, one of our survivors of trafficking was just settling into the rhythms of one of our safe homes when a team member sat down with her.

There was no agenda, just intentional time to talk, pray together, and get to know each other better.

They got to talking about clothes, finding things that fit, things she’d feel comfortable in since she arrived with very little. And our teammate asked a natural question anyone might ask when developing a relationship:

“What’s your favorite color?”

The survivor stopped. Looked up. And quietly said she didn’t think anyone had ever asked her that before. She wasn’t sure she’d ever known. That moment says everything. She came to us having never had the freedom to simply know what she liked. Through her hard work, she found the freedom. The choice. The safety to find out that her favorite color is purple.

Because of God’s grace, and through the faithful obedience of so many, we have seen lives rescued, dignity restored and hope reignited. Behind every number in this report is a life deeply loved by God. As you read, we invite you to look beyond the pages to see the lives, the moments, and the healing. I pray you feel our deep, sincere gratitude for helping to make these things possible—not only from me, but from all of us at TTF, and most importantly, from the MVPs whose lives you help impact.

God bless,

“...let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.”

— 1 John 3:18

Through God’s faithfulness and the strength of our global team, partners, and giving family, we’ve been able to share Faith, Hope and Love in more than 120 countries since inception.

“It Was Magic”

A Story of Rescue and Hope

Law enforcement estimates that there are over 89,000 series of unidentified children’s sexual abuse images that are in just one law enforcement database. Children — most of whom are under 12 years old — whose rape and abuse images are circulating online, yet who remain unidentified. Images of their darkest hours are being seen and memorialized, but the overwhelming majority of these children remain unknown and unreached.

The weight of this reality sparked both urgency and action. In March of 2023, we convened some of the world’s leading victim identification experts to innovate a way to attack this issue. What began as a strategic gathering has since led to four major Victim ID sprint operations in the U.S. alone. Operation Renewed Hope is a multi-week initiative that unites analysts, advanced technology, and law enforcement partners from around the world around one shared purpose: identifying children depicted in sexual abuse material so they can be located, rescued, and safeguarded.

Through Operations Renewed Hope I, II, III, and IV, over 1,600 children have now been identified and more than 600 children have been safeguarded.

Ally* is one of them.

This is her story of rescue…

Ally had endured sexual abuse since she was two years old. Long before she was old enough to understand what was happening, unimaginable evil had become part of her ongoing reality. As she grew older, she tried to speak up about the abuse, but no one believed her. The abuse continued for years. Some of the most traumatic moments of her life were recorded, uploaded online, and shared repeatedly.

Then one day, there was a knock at the front door. It was law enforcement.

“When the police arrived at my house, I felt happy. I felt that something good would happen for me…I was thrilled. I wanted to smile, because I knew something good would happen. It was magic!” Ally shared with the first responders.

During Operation Renewed Hope I, victim identification specialists were able to identify Ally through the evidence they analyzed. Using the intelligence developed through the operation, law enforcement located her and brought her to safety. Ally’s story is one of hundreds that reflect the impact of Operation Renewed Hope—children who were once unknown, now found; once unprotected, now safeguarded.

Because of your generosity, children like Ally are being seen, identified, rescued, and given the chance for a different future.

Thank you, TTF Giving Family, for helping make stories like hers possible.

“I KNEW SOMETHING GOOD WOULD HAPPEN. IT WAS MAGIC!”

Walking Alongside Families in Times of Greatest Need

Tebow Down Guatemala Steps in to Help Save the Life of a Student and Provide Long-Term Support for a Family in Crisis

Paulina is a nine-year-old girl full of joy, energy, and resilience. Behind her bright smile, however, is a story that reflects both the fragility of life and the power of God’s perfect timing.

Paulina lives with her younger brother under the care of Beverly, a relative by marriage who stepped in as their mother when no one else would. Despite separation from their biological family, Beverly has raised them with unwavering love and sacrifice, while also caring for her own children and her elderly father, who lives with a debilitating illness. As the sole provider, Beverly carries an immense weight.

Paulina has been diagnosed with a mild intellectual disability, hyperactivity, and chronic kidney disease. Over time, her condition worsened significantly—her kidney function declining from 25% to just 11%. Even so, she continued to show remarkable strength… until her body could no longer keep up.

In 2024, Beverly came to Tebow Down Guatemala (TDG) seeking academic support, as Paulina had begun falling behind in school. What started as a need for literacy intervention quickly became something far greater. By the end of the year, doctors determined Paulina would need peritoneal dialysis to survive.

This life-saving treatment required something the family did not have: a sterile, hospital-grade room inside their home. Tebow Down Guatemala was able to step in—not only to support Paulina’s education, but to meet a critical medical need that felt impossible for Beverly to carry alone.

Because of the generosity of our giving family, TDG was able to install a dialysis room in their home, allowing Paulina to receive the daily treatment she needed to live.

“WHAT STARTED AS A NEED FOR LITERACY INTERVENTION QUICKLY BECAME SOMETHING FAR GREATER.”

But the challenges didn’t stop there. In 2025, the family faced eviction due to financial hardship. Once again, in a moment of crisis, by God’s provision, a sustainable solution emerged through their connection with TDG. When a position opened at Tebow Down Guatemala, the team recognized that Beverly would be a good fit for the opportunity.

Today, she is a valued full-time team member—earning a stable income, receiving benefits, and gaining the flexibility needed to care for Paulina and attend her medical treatments. Just as importantly, she now works within a mission-driven community that reflects the same care and dignity she has poured into her family.

And Paulina’s story is still unfolding. Her health has progressed, and she is now in a new phase of treatment. She receives dialysis only at night, which is an encouraging step forward in her journey.

Paulina’s story is a powerful picture of what happens when we come alongside families in their most vulnerable moments. Tebow Down Guatemala is far more than a school or special needs resource center—it is a Christ-centered community that walks with families through both crisis and restoration.

In Paulina’s story: A child receives not only education, but also life-saving care. A caregiver moves from instability to dignity and support. A family experiences hope instead of despair.

Because of your generosity, 650 children with developmental disabilities — and their families — now have access to education, therapy, and holistic support across six Tebow Down Guatemala campuses.

Thank you for helping make stories like Paulina’s possible.

120,000+ KINGS & QUEENS 979 CHURCHES 50 STATES 76 COUNTRIES

NEARLY 2200 PEOPLE RECEIVED CRITICAL RESOURCES

Across eight countries, we served nearly 2,200 people in the special needs community with critical resources and therapies to help them thrive.

5500 LIVES EACH YEAR

At Rising Light Ridge, we launched adaptive adventure courses, including America’s first transfer-free wheelchair zip line and fully accessible high-and low-ropes courses, and continued building our ministry campus, which will have the capacity to impact 5,500 lives annually once completed.

The Power of Faith, Perseverance, and a Mother’s Love: Musab’s Story

100th Patient Receives Life-Changing Spine Surgery at Tebow Spine Center in Ethiopia

Iman welcomed her firstborn son, Musab, with deep joy and devotion. “He is my blessing—my everything,” she said. But when Musab was two months old, Iman noticed something unusual. “It was almost like half of his stomach was swollen,” she explained. What began as a quiet concern soon became the start of a long and painful journey in search of answers—traveling long distances, facing rejection from doctors, and criticism from family members.

Iman faced disbelief and discouragement from those closest to her. Her husband and family didn’t see the urgency. “My family thought I was overreacting because Musab was not feeling pain. They couldn’t see what I saw,” she said. “But I couldn’t ignore it. I traveled kilometers and kilometers searching for a medical solution.”

Doctors, too, initially dismissed Iman’s concerns. But she knew in her heart that something was wrong. Determined to find help, Iman kept looking for answers and someone to believe her.

Finally, she received confirmation that something was indeed wrong. Musab was diagnosed with scoliosis, a serious curvature of the spine that could impact his breathing, mobility, and long-term health. “The doctor told me my son’s condition was incurable—that I should stop looking for answers because there was no hope,” Iman recalled. But she refused to accept that as the final answer. She went from hospital to hospital looking for hope and healing for Musab, knowing that untreated scoliosis could affect his future. For years, she traveled countless miles, endured setbacks, and carried the weight of uncertainty alone.

“I CARRIED HOPE THROUGH EVERY HARDSHIP,” SHE SAID.
“AND I’D DO IT ALL AGAIN FOR MY SON’S HEALING.”

At the time, no hospital in Ethiopia offered free spine surgeries. But there was one place that gave Iman a glimmer of hope— CURE Children’s Hospital of Ethiopia (CURE Ethiopia), known for providing free orthopedic care. Eventually, Musab’s previous doctors referred him there, believing that maybe CURE Ethiopia could offer a solution. “When I arrived at CURE, I was welcomed with love and understanding,” Iman said. “Even though they didn’t offer spine surgery at the time, they cared deeply. I felt seen.”

Iman returned home but stayed in touch with CURE Ethiopia by phone, never losing hope. Eventually, she received a call— CURE’s medical team, along with a visiting spine surgeon, would perform Musab’s life-changing spine surgery. The Tebow Spine Center had opened at CURE Ethiopia, providing the surgical and non-surgical care children need to correct life-limiting spinal deformities. Finally, healing became possible for Musab!

At the Tebow Spine Center, Musab received the complex spine surgery he desperately needed to fully correct his scoliosis—at no cost. “Paying for my son’s surgery was unimaginable. CURE’s no-cost treatment offer is truly a blessing from God,” Iman said. After years of uncertainty, that long-awaited miracle became a reality.

But Musab’s story didn’t end there. A few months later, Musab and his mother attended Night to Shine in Ethiopia—a worldwide celebration event, centered on God’s love, honoring and valuing people with disabilities. As Musab walked the red carpet, surrounded by cheers, Iman stood nearby, overcome with emotion, watching her son be celebrated.

Though from a different faith background, they were deeply moved by the Christ-centered love they experienced. For Iman, this moment marked years of perseverance and hope fulfilled. Because of your generosity, alongside CURE International, children like Musab are receiving life-changing care.

Thank you for bringing Faith, Hope and Love to families like his.

PROFOUND MEDICAL NEEDS IMPACT

A Baby Named Hope

Every day, an estimated 3-4 babies are abandoned on the streets of Johannesburg, South Africa. This is the story of rescuing Hope.

The bell rang, alerting the caregivers, more affectionately known as “aunties,” at our TTF Promise Home that someone was outside. The staff on duty responded but didn’t see anyone. They went outside the gate, looked down, and that’s when they saw her.

There on the ground, wrapped in a blanket, was a baby girl. She was crying, alone, and her clothes carried a foul smell. The team gathered her up immediately, brought her inside, bathed her, and held her close, comforting her.

She was safe.

They named the baby “Hope.”

“I thank God we were there on time to save Hope,” Maureen, one of the TTF Promise Home aunties there that day recalled. “She was so tiny…so fragile. She was maybe a month old.”

At the hospital, Hope was diagnosed with fetal alcohol syndrome, a lifelong condition. But even in those first fragile days, she showed resilience. Once she was stable, she remained in a TTF Promise Home, receiving around-the-clock loving care, nutrition, medical attention, and the warmth of aunties who treated her as their own. Eventually, after 134 days, Hope was adopted into a forever family.

Hope’s story is a miracle. But it is also one of thousands unfolding every year in South Africa, and tragically, not all of them end the same way. The baby abandonment crisis has been called a “silent pandemic” that claims the lives of an estimated 3,000 babies every year in South Africa. Some are left in dumpsters. Some in alleyways. Some in chemical toilets. All places a baby should never be.

Their mothers are not heartless. They are desperate. Overwhelmed by poverty, isolation, and a complete lack of resources, they often feel utterly alone and without any other option. This broke our hearts for the babies and their mothers. We knew we had to do something to help.

Hope’s story is a testament to her name. She came into the world vulnerable and frightened, with the weight of hard circumstances already clinging to her. But because the TTF Impact Baby Rescue team was there to answer the call, Baby Hope’s story became one of love and rescue, rather than heartbreak and tragedy.

Thank you for helping give life a fighting chance.

IN SOUTH AFRICA, WE HELPED STOP BABIES FROM BEING ABANDONED BY SUPPORTING MORE THAN 180,000 PREGNANT WOMEN.

WE ALSO PROVIDED 24/7 HOLISTIC CARE FOR 35 ABANDONED BABIES, 5 OF WHOM HAVE ALREADY BEEN ADOPTED INTO THEIR FOREVER FAMILIES.
