Read this first · the figures below need context
52% of Spaht Family Foundation’s FY2024 grant dollars went to Trustees Of Dartmouth College, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2024 names 17 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2023, the last year Spaht Family Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 18 organizations, $1M. It is dated, not current.
