Does the money reach high-need areas?
Each grant placed by the hardship in its grantee’s ZIP, against the area’s typical level.
US giving: 88% of grant dollars ($6.5M). The need read here covers only this US portion; the 12% that went abroad ($901k) is mapped below.
Its human-services grants (FY17–23, $40k) land where the poverty rate runs at 10%, against an area that typically sits at 10%. 0% of those dollars go to grantees based in above-average-need neighborhoods. Its grants skew toward lower-need ZIPs.
How this is measured
Which US states its grants reach
Beyond the US: 12% of all-years giving ($901k)
12 countries, by the recipient’s country on the filing.
How this is measured
Where the work is directed
The same grants placed two ways: where each recipient sits, and where its stated purpose sends the money.
About 29% of The Dietrich W Botstiber Foundation’s grant dollars are earmarked for a different county than the recipient’s own address. By recipient address, 40% of the giving stays in PA; by stated purpose, 30%.
How this is measured
Who it funds again
Organizations funded in more than one year, against those funded once.
Grantees it renews have grown median revenue +14% since the first grant, against +12% for those funded once.
26 repeat relationships: 6 still active in FY2024, 20 since wound down; 15 grantees were first funded in FY2024 (too recent to call).

How this is measured
41 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. 41 of the 159 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.
Where the money sits, by cause and then by grantee
