Dear friends, supporters, and community partners,
At The Zezula Foundation, our mission is simple yet profound: we give homes to those without, educate children who are left behind, and fight cancer with cutting-edge research. We are here to make a real difference, one life at a time. Looking back on 2024, the foundation is filled with pride and gratitude for what we achieved together — and excited to share these milestones with you.
A new chapter in housing.
Fannie Mae's HomePath program
This year the foundation reached a transformative milestone by obtaining membership in Fannie Mae's HomePath program. This opportunity allows us to purchase distressed homes, which we will rehabilitate and turn into safe, affordable housing for families in need.
By fortifying and improving local communities, we are doing more than restoring buildings — we are creating spaces where hope can flourish and lives can be rebuilt. This is a cornerstone of our mission, and it is only the beginning.

Expanding our reach.
A partnership with JPMorgan
We also celebrated the establishment of a funding partnership with JPMorgan, a collaboration that amplifies the reach and impact of our work. With these resources, we are expanding our educational programs to ensure that more children — those left behind by circumstance or systemic challenges — gain access to the quality education they deserve.
Education is a powerful tool for change, and thanks to JPMorgan's support, we are opening doors to brighter futures for countless young lives.
Running for hope.
Supporting Fred's Team
Our commitment to fighting cancer took a meaningful step forward in 2024. The foundation proudly contributed to Fred's Team during the New York City Marathon, raising vital funds for colorectal cancer research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
Every mile run was a stride toward hope for those battling this disease. Cancer affects so many, and we are honored to support the groundbreaking research that brings us closer to a cure.
A shared journey.
None of these accomplishments would be possible without you — our donors, volunteers, and community partners. Your unwavering support drives us to dream bigger and work harder. As we look ahead to 2025, we invite you to stay with us on this journey.
Together, we can build a world where everyone has a home, every child has the chance to learn, and every person facing cancer has hope.
Thank you for believing in our mission. Here is to making an even greater difference in the year to come.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Mateusz M. Zezula
President, The Zezula Foundation
