Read this first · the figures below need context
100% of The Iro Foundation Trust’s FY2025 grant dollars went to The Donors Fund, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2025 names 0 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2021, the last year The Iro Foundation Trust named its own grantees at scale: 6 organizations, $160k. It is dated, not current.
