Read this first · the figures below need context
84% of Rostrust Foundation’s FY2026 grant dollars went to The Donors Fund, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2026 names 2 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2020, the last year Rostrust Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 7 organizations, $755k. It is dated, not current.
