Read this first · the figures below need context
77% of Patrick Byrne Foundation Inc’s FY2023 grant dollars went to The Board Of Trustees Of The Leland Stanford Junior University, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2023 names 1 organization directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2017, the last year Patrick Byrne Foundation Inc named its own grantees at scale: 8 organizations, $1M. It is dated, not current.
