Rollins M and Amalie L Koppel Foundation
Its FY2020 filing reports that it accepted unsolicited grant applications.
Read this first · the figures below need context
100% of Rollins M and Amalie L Koppel Foundation’s FY2020 grant dollars went to Tulsa Community Foundation, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2020 names 0 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2017, the last year Rollins M and Amalie L Koppel Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 6 organizations, $45k. It is dated, not current.

Does the money reach high-need areas?
Each grant placed by the hardship in its grantee’s ZIP, against the area’s typical level.
Its human-services grants (FY17–17, $1k) land where the poverty rate runs at 27%, against an area that typically sits at 13%. 100% of those dollars go to grantees based in above-average-need neighborhoods. Most of its grants land in higher-need ZIPs.

Who it funds again
Organizations funded in more than one year, against those funded once.
5 repeat relationships: 5 still active in FY2017, 0 since wound down; 17 grantees were first funded in FY2017 (too recent to call). Read against FY2017, the last year this funder named its own grantees directly; its giving has since run through a sponsor, which reports no donor behind each grant.

How this is measured
10 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. 10 of the 24 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
