Read this first · the figures below need context
66% of Kolatch Family Foundation’s FY2025 grant dollars went to National Philanthropic Trust, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2025 names 30 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2022, the last year Kolatch Family Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 30 organizations, $6M. It is dated, not current.
