Read this first · the figures below need context
99% of Hickson Family Foundation’s FY2020 grant dollars went to The Bessemer Giving Fund, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2020 names 1 organization directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2018, the last year Hickson Family Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 5 organizations, $23k. It is dated, not current.
