Read this first · the figures below need context
67% of Kyle J and Sharon Krause Family Foundation’s FY2024 grant dollars went to Community Fdn Of Greater Des Moines F/K/A Greater Des Moines Community Fdn, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2024 names 33 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2019, the last year Kyle J and Sharon Krause Family Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 46 organizations, $552k. It is dated, not current.

Does the money reach high-need areas?
Each grant placed by the hardship in its grantee’s ZIP, against the area’s typical level.
Its human-services grants (FY18–24, $68k) land where the poverty rate runs at 11%, against an area that typically sits at 11%. 9% of those dollars go to grantees based in above-average-need neighborhoods. Its grants skew toward lower-need ZIPs.

Who it funds again
Organizations funded in more than one year, against those funded once.
62 repeat relationships: 31 still active in FY2019, 31 since wound down; 95 grantees were first funded in FY2019 (too recent to call). Read against FY2019, the last year this funder named its own grantees directly; its giving has since run through a sponsor, which reports no donor behind each grant.

126 grantees tracked through their own filings, 2017–2025.
Each grant beside the grantee’s revenue from every source, year by year.
How this is measured
Counted here: distinct organizations funded across 2017 to 2025, not grant rows in a single year, so this will not match the grant count on the cover. 126 of the 212 grantees resolved in that span have returns of their own we could reconcile.
Each grantee is resolved to its own IRS returns. Association, dated; never a causal claim.

Warm introductions · Powered by PlinthPlus
How do I get to Kyle J and Sharon Krause Family Foundation?
Find your warmest path to Kyle J and Sharon Krause Family Foundation through trustees and officers whose names appear on both boards. Search for your organization and Plinth traces the shortest route it can evidence.
Each link is a name appearing on two organizations’ public IRS 990 filings, matched on that name and, where the filings support it, on location. A same-state match has geographic support, which is a second matching feature rather than confirmation that the two are one person; a cross-state one is the likeliest to be two people who share a name. Every hop shows its tier, low-confidence and distant paths are held back rather than guessed, and it is worth confirming the person before you use the introduction.
