Read this first · the figures below need context
100% of Robbins Family Foundation Inc’s FY2026 grant dollars went to Fidelity Investments Charitable Gift Fund, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2026 names 0 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2021, the last year Robbins Family Foundation Inc named its own grantees at scale: 35 organizations, $30k. It is dated, not current.
