95% of The Jacobson Family Foundation’s FY2024 grant dollars went to Bny Mellon Charitable Gift Fund, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2024 names 9 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2023, the last year The Jacobson Family Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 19 organizations, $462k. It is dated, not current.
