Itemized grant dollars by recipient state, 2025 filing.

What they fund

Derived from where the money actually went rather than from a stated mission, which is the more useful of the two and frequently the different one.

  • Education
  • Human Services
  • Arts, Culture & Humanities

Recent giving reached Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana.

Their most recent 990-PF reported program-related investments: money moved as loans, guarantees or equity rather than grants. That is one filing year rather than a standing program, and it is rare, roughly one foundation in eighty on this site. It is also one of the few routes foundation money reaches a company.
