Read this first · the figures below need context
100% of Lipton Family Foundation’s FY2025 grant dollars went to First Tee New York Inc, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2025 names 0 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2018, the last year Lipton Family Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 7 organizations, $4k. It is dated, not current.

How do I get to Lipton Family Foundation?
Find your warmest path to Lipton 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.
