Read this first · the figures below need context
96% of Kanaan Family Foundation’s FY2025 grant dollars went to King Baudouin Foundation Us Inc, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2025 names 2 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2018, the last year Kanaan Family Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 12 organizations, $21k. It is dated, not current.
