Read this first · the figures below need context
83% of The Edward and Carol Esstman Foundation’s FY2020 grant dollars went to Morgan Stanley Global Impact Funding Trust Inc, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2020 names 1 organization directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2017, the last year The Edward and Carol Esstman Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 7 organizations, $83k. It is dated, not current.
