Read this first · the figures below need context
50% of Shalom Austin’s FY2024 grant dollars went to The Jewish Federations Of North America Inc, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2024 names 14 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2023, the last year Shalom Austin named its own grantees at scale: 12 organizations, $1M. It is dated, not current.
