How this is measured
8 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. 8 of the 12 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
Grantee by grantee: a decade per organization, before and after funding
A decade per grantee: revenue shaded, grants as bars, all rows on one timeline.

Each dot is one organization Seth Morris 911 Heroes Foundation funds: left to right is the share of its income from government, bottom to top the share from Seth Morris 911 Heroes Foundation. Bigger dots raise more.
- Children's Hospital Corporation: 10% of income from government
- The Windham Foundation Inc: 1% of income from government
