A cause breakdown isn’t shown here: 100% of GERALD A & KAREN A KOLSCHOWSKY FOUNDATION INC’s grantee dollars fall outside its nine largest cause areas, whether because the recipient carries no IRS cause code or because its cause sits in the long tail. A chart would be mostly one residual band and misrepresent the portfolio.

Who you back again
Which organizations you funded more than once, and which you funded a single time. Each grantee is matched to its own filings.
102 repeat relationships — 90 still active in FY2024, 12 since wound down; 10 grantees were first funded in FY2024 (too recent to call).

New vs renewed · share of each year
In FY2024, 98% of grant dollars renewed an existing relationship; $226k went to new ones.
First-time = a grantee’s first year in your filing window; renewed = funded in an earlier year too. As a portfolio matures the renewed share naturally climbs — once funded, an org stays “renewable” — so the signal is the years that buck it (a new-grantee intake wave). The earliest year is left-censored: relationships that predate the data read as “new.” Theme is the grantee’s IRS cause.

Repeat = funded in two or more distinct years; growth and survival are read from each grantee’s own subsequent IRS filings.
0 grantees tracked through their own filings, 2019–2024.
Each one resolved to its own IRS returns and tracked year by year — your grant beside their revenue from every source. Association, dated; never a causal claim.
Counted here: distinct organizations you funded across 2019–2024, not grant rows in a single year — so this will not match the grant count on the cover. 0 of the 134 grantees resolved in that span have returns of their own we could reconcile; the rest are funded organizations whose filings we could not track year by year.
