Read this first · the figures below need context
51% of Caritas Charitable Foundation’s FY2025 grant dollars went to Hillsdale College, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2025 names 0 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2020, the last year Caritas Charitable Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 5 organizations, $24k. It is dated, not current.
