Read this first · the figures below need context
90% of The Asia Society’s FY2025 grant dollars went to The Board Of Trustees Of The Leland Stanford Junior University, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2025 names 1 organization directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2021, the last year The Asia Society named its own grantees at scale: 65 organizations, $860k. It is dated, not current.
