Read this first · the figures below need context
70% of Sgt Kay Foundation’s FY2025 grant dollars went to Goldman Sachs Philanthropy Fund, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2025 names 5 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2020, the last year Sgt Kay Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 8 organizations, $265k. It is dated, not current.
