Read this first · the figures below need context
99% of The Jersey Foundation’s FY2019 grant dollars went to Rsf Social Finance Inc, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2019 names 1 organization directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2017, the last year The Jersey Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 5 organizations, $83k. It is dated, not current.

Co-funders
Grantmakers whose grantees overlap with this funder’s far more than size alone predicts. Closer means stronger alignment; arcs show where they also fund each other. Here they form a tightly interlocked group: most of these funders back each other's grantees too.
