Read this first · the figures below need context
100% of Charis Foundation’s FY2022 grant dollars went to Columbus Foundation, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2022 names 0 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2021, the last year Charis Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 13 organizations, $56k. It is dated, not current.
