Read this first · the figures below need context
100% of Bob and Alice Lin Foundation’s FY2019 grant dollars went to Schwab Charitable Fund, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2019 names 1 organization directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2018, the last year Bob and Alice Lin Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 5 organizations, $55k. It is dated, not current.
