Read this first · the figures below need context
97% of The Emch Foundation’s FY2023 grant dollars went to Bradley Impact Fund Inc, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2023 names 1 organization directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2020, the last year The Emch Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 5 organizations, $62k. It is dated, not current.
