Itemized grant dollars by recipient state, 2022 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.

  • Arts, Culture & Humanities
  • Environment
  • Human Services

Recent giving reached Alabama, California, Colorado, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Massachusetts, Maryland.

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.
