Read this first · the figures below need context
66% of The Aloha Project’s FY2025 grant dollars went to American Online Giving Foundation Inc, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2025 names 0 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2024, the last year The Aloha Project named its own grantees at scale: 6 organizations, $5k. It is dated, not current.
