Read this first · the figures below need context
59% of Jewish Federation and Family Services of Orange County’s FY2024 grant dollars went to The Jewish Federations Of North America Inc, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2024 names 10 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2018, the last year Jewish Federation and Family Services of Orange County named its own grantees at scale: 16 organizations, $1M. It is dated, not current.
