Read this first · the figures below need context
92% of Planet Home Charitable Foundation’s FY2025 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. FY2025 names 3 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2021, the last year Planet Home Charitable Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 16 organizations, $250k. It is dated, not current.
