53% of The Endurance Fund’s FY2024 grant dollars went to Marin Community Foundation, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2024 names 30 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2023, the last year The Endurance Fund named its own grantees at scale: 18 organizations, $260k. It is dated, not current.
