Read this first · the figures below need context
86% of Maurice Foundation’s FY2023 grant dollars went to Greater Cedar Rapids Community Foundation, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2023 names 23 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2022, the last year Maurice Foundation named its own grantees at scale: 25 organizations, $54k. It is dated, not current.
