Read this first · the figures below need context
54% of Seed the Dream Foundation’s FY2024 grant dollars went to Pef Israel Endowment Funds Inc, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2024 names 84 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2022, the last year Seed the Dream Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 103 organizations, $9M. It is dated, not current.
