Read this first · the figures below need context
69% of Harmon Foundation’s FY2024 grant dollars went to El Paso Community Foundation, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2024 names 5 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2022, the last year Harmon Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 5 organizations, $45k. It is dated, not current.
