Read this first · the figures below need context
100% of Moerlein Family Foundation’s FY2026 grant dollars went to Donor Advised Charitable Giving Inc, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2026 names 1 organization directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2025, the last year Moerlein Family Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 14 organizations, $7k. It is dated, not current.
