Read this first · the figures below need context
96% of Neil Family Fund’s FY2020 grant dollars went to Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2020 names 8 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2019, the last year Neil Family Fund named its own grantees at scale: 11 organizations, $9k. It is dated, not current.
