Read this first · the figures below need context
50% of Mz Foundation’s FY2025 grant dollars went to The Community Foundation Of The Texas Hill Country Inc, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2025 names 1 organization directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2020, the last year Mz Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 6 organizations, $93k. It is dated, not current.

Co-funders
Grantmakers whose grantees overlap with this funder’s far more than size alone predicts. Closer means stronger alignment; arcs show where they also fund each other. Here they form a tightly interlocked group: most of these funders back each other's grantees too.
