Read this first · the figures below need context
67% of K1 Partners Foundation’s FY2024 grant dollars went to Trustees Of The University Of Pennsylvania, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2024 names 7 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2020, the last year K1 Partners Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 6 organizations, $137k. It is dated, not current.
