Read this first · the figures below need context
100% of Hegardt Foundation’s FY2024 grant dollars went to Schwab Charitable Fund, 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 FY2022, the last year Hegardt Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 9 organizations, $440k. It is dated, not current.
