Read this first · the figures below need context
87% of Kates Foundation Inc’s FY2023 grant dollars went to Bank Of America Charitable Gift Fd, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2023 names 9 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2022, the last year Kates Foundation Inc named its own grantees at scale: 8 organizations, $121k. It is dated, not current.
