Read this first · the figures below need context
100% of Regional Opportunity Initiatives Inc’s FY2025 grant dollars went to Community Foundation Of Bloomington And Monroe County Inc, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2025 names 0 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2023, the last year Regional Opportunity Initiatives Inc named its own grantees at scale: 29 organizations, $6M. It is dated, not current.
