How this is measured
How this is measured
0 grantees tracked through their own filings, 2021–2021.
Each grant beside the grantee’s revenue from every source, year by year.
How this is measured
Counted here: distinct organizations funded across 2021 to 2021, not grant rows in a single year, so this will not match the grant count on the cover. 0 of the 24 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.
