2 countries, by the recipient’s country on the filing.
How this is measured
2 grantees tracked through their own filings, 2017–2025.
Each grant beside the grantee’s revenue from every source, year by year.
How this is measured
Counted here: distinct organizations funded across 2017 to 2025, not grant rows in a single year, so this will not match the grant count on the cover. 2 of the 4 grantees resolved in that span have returns of their own we could reconcile.
Each grantee is resolved to its own IRS returns. Association, dated; never a causal claim.
Where the money sits, by cause and then by grantee
Each grantee by its size and the funder’s share of it; top left is load-bearing
Grantee by grantee: a decade per organization, before and after funding
A decade per grantee: revenue shaded, grants as bars, all rows on one timeline.
How much its grantees rely on government
Each dot is one organization Ocean Mokum Foundation funds: left to right is the share of its income from government, bottom to top the share from Ocean Mokum Foundation. Bigger dots raise more.
- Ocean Exploration Trust Inc: 5% of income from government
- Act of Connecticut: 1% of income from government
