Does the money reach high-need areas?
Each grant placed by the hardship in its grantee’s ZIP, against the area’s typical level.
Its human-services grants (FY17–25, $18.6M) land where the poverty rate runs at 12%, against an area that typically sits at 10%. 95% of those dollars go to grantees based in above-average-need neighborhoods. Most of its grants land in higher-need ZIPs.

Where the work is directed
The same grants placed two ways: where each recipient sits, and where its stated purpose sends the money.
About 99% of Community Foundation of Tampa Bay Inc’s grant dollars are earmarked for a different county than the recipient’s own address. By recipient address, 75% of the giving stays in FL; by stated purpose, 1%.
How this is measured
Who it funds again
Organizations funded in more than one year, against those funded once.

789 repeat relationships: 486 still active in FY2025, 303 since wound down; 170 grantees were first funded in FY2025 (too recent to call).

How this is measured
1191 grantees tracked through their own filings, 2017–2026.
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 2026, not grant rows in a single year, so this will not match the grant count on the cover. 1191 of the 1,499 grantees resolved in that span have returns of their own we could reconcile.
Each grantee is resolved to its own IRS returns. Association, dated; never a causal claim.

Co-funders
Grantmakers whose grantees overlap with this funder’s far more than size alone predicts. Closer means stronger alignment; arcs show where they also fund each other. Here they form a tightly interlocked group: most of these funders back each other's grantees too.
