Read this first · the figures below need context
51% of M Piuze Foundation’s FY2024 grant dollars went to Morgan Stanley Global Impact Funding Trust Inc, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2024 names 58 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2023, the last year M Piuze Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 58 organizations, $3M. It is dated, not current.
