Follow the money
Each organization's own page shows its own grants. This page follows the same money across the organizations on this site's list: every grant one of them reported giving another on Schedule I of its IRS Form 990, matched to the recipient by its IRS tax ID. Grants to or from organizations that are not on the list are shown as one line each way and are not named. Start from a fund, follow it into the groups it pays. Open the filings in the 990 explorer.
Grants between the organizations on this site's list, from their IRS Form 990 Schedule I filings. A dollar that passes through a fund is a grant at each step, so steps are never added together. The largest organizations a listed organization's return names as grantee or grantor are shown by name; all other grants are one line, not named.

Where its money came from
Where its money went
A dollar that passes through a fund is a grant at every hop, so the totals on this page must never be added across hops: $100 from a trust to a fund, then from the fund to a group, is still $100.
From the organizations' IRS Form 990 filings (Schedule I grants), between organizations on this site's list. Amounts are each grantor's own reported figures, by tax year. Grants to or from organizations not on the list are shown as one line and are not named.
