Read this first · the figures below need context
94% of Ef Harris Family Foundation’s FY2019 grant dollars went to Bank Of America Charitable Gift Fund, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2019 names 5 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2018, the last year Ef Harris Family Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 18 organizations, $278k. It is dated, not current.
