100% of The Arta Foundation’s FY2021 grant dollars went to Schwab Charitable Fund, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2021 names 0 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2019, the last year The Arta Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 9 organizations, $100k. It is dated, not current.
