Read this first · the figures below need context
100% of Stephen I Richman & Audrey G Richman Foundation’s FY2024 grant dollars went to Jewish Federation Of Greater Pittsburgh, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2024 names 0 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2021, the last year Stephen I Richman & Audrey G Richman Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 5 organizations, $16k. It is dated, not current.

How this is measured
10 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. 10 of the 15 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.
