Overview

Mission

2Gether-International, Inc. empowers disabled founders with the tools and resources they need for their companies to be leaders in their respective industries.

What it reported doing in 2025

Accelerator Programs: 2Gether-International delivered multiple accelerator cohorts in the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean supporting early-stage disabled founders building high-growth ventures. U.S. cohorts included Health Innovation, AI, and MVP-focused accelerators designed to strengthen business models, customer validation, and investment readiness. In Latin America and the Caribbean, two accelerator cohorts were delivered in partnership with IDB Lab. Across programs, founders received intensive mentorship, workshops, and pitch development support to advance venture growth and improve access to capital and customers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 93% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 93% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - Most voting board members are independent and program spending has grown recently. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
