Does the money reach high-need areas?
Each grant placed by the hardship in its grantee’s ZIP, against the area’s typical level.
US giving: 88% of grant dollars ($4k). The need read here covers only this US portion; the 12% that went abroad ($520) is mapped below.
Dollar for dollar, its grants (FY21–25) land where the poverty rate runs at 10%, against an area that typically sits at 5%. 78% of its dollars go to grantees based in above-average-need neighborhoods. Most of its grants land in higher-need ZIPs.
How this is measured
Beyond the US: 12% of all-years giving ($520)
2 countries, by the recipient’s country on the filing.
How this is measured
3 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. 3 of the 12 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 Ratna Foundation Inc funds: left to right is the share of its income from government, bottom to top the share from Ratna Foundation Inc. Bigger dots raise more.
- Chatham Emergency Squad Inc: 0% of income from government
- Pan-Massachusetts Challenge Inc: 0% of income from government
