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
  • Arts, Culture & Humanities
  • Environment

Recent giving reached Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, District of Columbia, Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Montana.

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.
