Read this first · the figures below need context
94% of Morse Family Foundation Inc’s FY2024 grant dollars went to Vanguard Charitable Endowment Program, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2024 names 3 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2022, the last year Morse Family Foundation Inc named its own grantees at scale: 5 organizations, $42k. It is dated, not current.
