100% of Marten Charitable Foundation Corporation’s FY2025 grant dollars went to University Of Notre Dame Du Lac, 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 FY2019, the last year Marten Charitable Foundation Corporation named its own grantees at scale: 6 organizations, $277k. It is dated, not current.
