Read this first · the figures below need context
68% of The Ducommun Foundation’s FY2024 grant dollars went to Orange County'S United Way, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2024 names 3 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2022, the last year The Ducommun Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 5 organizations, $115k. It is dated, not current.
