Where the money goes
Grants by size, and the largest recipients.
| Recipient | Amount |
|---|---|
| THE WARREN ALPERT MEDICAL SCHOOL OF BROWN RHODE ISLAND HOSPITAL | $21,840 |
| BETH ISRAEL DEACONESS MEDICAL CENTER | $21,840 |
Does the money reach high-need areas?
Each grant placed by the hardship in its grantee’s ZIP, against the area’s typical level.
Dollar for dollar, its grants (FY22–22) land where the poverty rate runs at 15%, against an area that typically sits at 14%. 50% of its dollars go to grantees based in above-average-need neighborhoods. Its grants spread fairly evenly across need levels.
How this is measured
How this is measured
2 grantees tracked through their own filings, 2017–2025.
Each grant beside the grantee’s revenue from every source, year by year.
How this is measured
Counted here: distinct organizations funded across 2017 to 2025, not grant rows in a single year, so this will not match the grant count on the cover.
Each grantee is resolved to its own IRS returns. Association, dated; never a causal claim.
Each grantee by its size and the funder’s share of it; top left is load-bearing
Grantee by grantee: a decade per organization, before and after funding
A decade per grantee: revenue shaded, grants as bars, all rows on one timeline.
How much its grantees rely on government
Each dot is one organization Cancer Commons funds: left to right is the share of its income from government, bottom to top the share from Cancer Commons. Bigger dots raise more.
- Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Inc: 6% of income from government
