Foundation
The Two Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization created to help people of every ability feel a true sense of belonging and support as they pursue meaningful work.
“One person, family, school, business, community, and country at a time, we can change the future for those we love and serve. That is our ultimate goal and dream.”
–Shari Hunter, Founder
Two Foundation
Inspired by a mom’s love and a child’s willful journey toward independence, the Two Foundation was established in 2013 as a 501c3 non-profit organization.
This organization was inspired by Derek Hunter, the son of our Founder, Shari. Born with unique abilities, Shari knew from the very beginning that her son was born to change the world—so she and her family committed to helping make that change possible.
Today, Two Foundation provides the structure and funding for Two & Company – which is a collection of people, places, and experiences, including the Café, Shops and Services – that enables people of every ability to find happiness and success in the workplace and beyond.
Capital Campaign
We need your help and support to bring our vision to reality.
Two & Company, which encompasses the café, shops, job services and the foundation, has outgrown the space we’ve been leasing since 2015. We purchased a building to $1.6 million dollars with 6,800 square feet that will have space for training, café, shops, and business offices. The costs for the building and renovations are estimated to be $4 million dollars. To date we have raised $1.350 million dollars. Donations of all sizes will get us to our goal.
If you have an interest in taking a tour of our new building, please reach out to Lisa at: (234)346-2228 or lisa@twofoundationl.com. Naming opportunities are still available.
