This morning I saw a new account start following me – @TebowFoundation. I had never heard of it until this morning, so I quickly checked out the Twitter account where it then directed me to a new website for The Tim Tebow Foundation – www.timtebowfoundation.org. “The Tim Tebow Foundation is a donor advised fund of the National Christian Foundation (NCF), one of the largest non-profit donor advised funds in the United States.”

It appears to be a legitimate foundation/site site up – though I did check the USTO for the trademark they claim to have “Tim Tebow Foundation” and nothing came up. When you search the domain history it was purchased back in November, but all the ownership information is private. But there is a video of Tim Tebow welcoming people to the Foundation, so you know it’s real.

Here is a brief summary of the Foundation they have posted on their Facebook page:

The Tim Tebow Foundation exists to bring faith, hope and love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need.

The Foundation will utilize the public platform that God has given to Tim Tebow–through media, publishing, speaking engagements, special events, and mission trips—to inspire friends and supporters to work with the Foundation as a team in helping to make a difference.

The Facebook page has over 2,000 fans so obviously a lot of people know about this already. You’d think there would be a press release or something let let media know – or maybe they did send me an email notification, it just got lost in with the regular batch of fan mail.

The site also allows you to make donations to his Foundation directly through a simple payment form and you can join their mailing list. If you have any more information on the Tim Tebow Foundation, please post a comment and let me know.
