Read this first · the figures below need context
85% of Make It Possible Foundation Inc’s FY2021 grant dollars went to Bank Of America Charitable Gift Fd, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2021 names 4 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2017, the last year Make It Possible Foundation Inc named its own grantees at scale: 7 organizations, $11k. It is dated, not current.
