Read this first · the figures below need context
100% of Greater Horizons Trust’s FY2024 grant dollars went to Greater Kansas City Community Foundation, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2024 names 0 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2018, the last year Greater Horizons Trust named its own grantees at scale: 10 organizations, $2M. It is dated, not current.
