Who the money went to

Grants this organization reported paying: Schedule I Part II of the Form 990, or the grants-paid list on the 990-PF. Open a year for every recipient. Recipients link to their own page when the grant names an EIN we have (990-PF grants list no EIN, so those link only on an exact, unique name and state). Grants to individuals are counted; their names are not shown.

2023 · 88 grants to organizations · $1.6M · 7 summary lines · $1.1M

This return lists 7 summary lines (program totals pointing to a separate statement) instead of each grant. The itemized list was filed as an attachment that isn't in the IRS's public e-file data, so the recipients can't be shown.

2022 · 113 grants to organizations · $3.2M
2021 · 133 grants to organizations · $3.3M
2020 · 142 grants to organizations · $3.1M
2019 · 95 grants to organizations · $2.2M
2018 · 86 grants to organizations · $1.1M
2017 · 71 grants to organizations · $1.0M
2016 · 51 grants to organizations · $459K
2014 · 54 grants to organizations · $721K

Negative amounts are returned or refunded grants; they are listed last and left out of the totals of grants paid.

Who gave

Contributors listed on Schedule B of the Form 990-PF: name, city and state as filed (street addresses are not shown), with total and noncash contributions for the year. A link to an organization's page is tagged Fuzzy with its name-similarity score (0 to 1) when it rests on name and state; Schedule B lists no EIN, so no link here is an exact identifier match.
