Read this first · the figures below need context
97% of PFS Community Foundation’s FY2023 grant dollars went to Dearborn Community Foundation Inc, 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 FY2022, the last year PFS Community Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 6 organizations, $35k. It is dated, not current.
